 | | moronovich: Are you witty today,<Rolfo>? :) |
|
Jun-09-14 | | Gegga: Simen and Magnus are the only players who have not lost in Norway Chess, so far (round 6). Who would have guessed that, before the tournament? :-) |
|
Jun-09-14 | | Whitehat1963: Does anyone know how many Elo points Agdestein has picked up in this tournament? |
|
Jun-09-14 | | Rolfo: Moronovich, when Simen is coughing I thought he would also demonstrate that old dogs can bark just to put some awe into his opponent, but maybe it isn't witty or even more some could see it as lack of respect, so I actually didn't wright this :) |

Jun-10-14 | | Rolfo: A cold beer anytime, and if Simen is around a beer for him too :) |

|
Jun-13-14 | | Rolfo: All in all more than expected from Simen. Well done |
|
Jun-13-14 | | john barleycorn: <Rolfo: All in all more than expected from Simen. Well done> there is nothing less than last. :-)
But seriously, he did much better than a couple of guys here predicted. Hats off. |

 | | Fusilli: Maybe it's time to upload a photo of Agdestein? This one is nice, and Wikipedia photos are not copyright-protected, right? http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simen_...
(I think this is a nicer photo than the one on his English Wikipedia page.) |

May-02-15 | | TheFocus: <Real chess players think about chess more or less 24 hours a day. It is a passion and a fate that one has to live with - and it lasts a lifetime> - Agdestein, Simen. |
|
May-07-15 | | TheFocus: <Torbjorn (Hansen, Magnus Carlsen's first teacher) himself went from 2104 to 2204 in rating during the year he trained with Magnus. This reflects the experience I have had. One learns nearly as much from teaching others> - Simen Agdestein. |

 | | Fusilli: <egilarne> Cool, I'll post on Biographer Bistro, letting the biographers know. |
|
May-12-15 | | alfamikewhiskey: The Telegraph reports on Simen Agdestein's loss to a six-year old girl (!) (in simul, though) - not omitting to link the "incident" to Short's remarks on chess and females: <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...> |

 | | Penguincw: Happy 48th birthday to GM Simen Agdestein! Unfortunately, he didn't get too great of a birthday gift, as he would end up finishing last at the EnterCard Scandinavian Masters (2015). It's a shame, considering I would've liked to see him play at Norway again. He did well there, scoring 7 straight draws before losing twice. |

 | | ketchuplover: belated happy birthday young man |
|
Nov-19-16 | | Christoforus Polacco: The best football player among chess players. Respect ! |
|
Oct-17-17 | | Octavia: I wish someone would write a book on good draws. I only know 2: 1 by Leonid Verkhovsky and 1 by Wolfgang Heidenfeld |
|
May-15-18 | | Count Wedgemore: Gratulerer med dagen, Simen! |
