 | | Penguincw: < He is reputed to have said "Draws make me angry" and remains a strong GM with an aggressive style just a level below the top rank. > Interesting. Topalov hates draws so much he'd rather lose than draw. |

| Jan-22-12 | | King Death: <Riverbeast: There is a mistake in this bio that should be corrected: "...but has never qualified as a Candidate"
Romanishin qualified for the PCA candidates matches in 1994> It's true, he lost to Viswanathan Anand in the first round scoring -3 =4. Even if this isn't officially recognized I think it's worth mentioning in the bio. |

| | Honza Cervenka: <"Oll the President's Men"
True story of Ossip Bernstein and Timothy Woodward> Of course, I should add that the picture is directed by Tomasz Pakula and that we will see there as featured characters among others Rodney Nixon, Arnaud Colson, Scott Kissinger, Jim H Dean, Bernard W Barker, John Mitchell, G. Gordon Liddy, Adam Hunt, George Sturgis, J McCord, E Martinez, Ron Ziegler, and a lot of people from R Washington Evening Post Ladder. Of course, Bernstein and Woodward will enjoy assistance of enigmatic Deep Thought (Computer), and famous "Katie Graham 's gonna get her tit caught in a big fat wringer" scene will be there too. |

Mr Romanishin looks a thoroughly affable man, I must say. |

 | | perfidious: <mistermac> Early in Romanishin's international career, there was a piece which covered one of his tournament victories. While I don't recall whether it was in Chess Life or BCM, that article noted that, for all his ferocity at the board, he was very much a gentleman away from it and quite a decent man to meet, unlike some other top players of the time. |

Vassily Ivanchuk is brilliant in the title role, showing his critics that revenge is never a straight line. |

| Mar-05-15 | | tessathedog: Gee...I sought out this page because I spotted GM Romanishin playing here at Bad Worishofen and really wanted to read up on him...only to have to wade through pages of totally irrelevant postings. I can see that they are amusing, but surely there is a better place for them? is it not disrespectful to a prominent Grandmaster to litter his pages with material of no relevance to him or his achievements? I do not mean to offend anyone, but would like people to reflect a little on how trivial postings might be compromising the pages of highly esteemed players. |

|
| Mar-06-15 | | tessathedog: Many thanks Zanzibar for that fantastic Romanishin interview! Exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate your taking the trouble to post it. Thank you. Now, my immediate ambition is to try and get a photo with Romanishin at the closing ceremony tomorrow. I am glad to read in the interview he speaks English, so he will understand my request...I couldn't manage it in Russian! |
