Impressive. Breaking 2700 at 45? Nice.
Top 40 comments and questions:
The 9700+ list is getting longer so fast! Elo inflation in action!?
Why is Anand not playing in the Olympics. He is the most notable absent.
Also out of the Olympics (why?) seem to be Bacrot and Gashinov. Are the reasons known?
There are 3 GM’s Georgiev from Bulgaria (Kiril,Krum,Vladimir) the later now represents Macedonia.
I guess you mean Kiril but am not sure.
