Dear all, someone is trying to take advantage of my name, sending messages with a fake account mostly to titled players and trying to take their information.

Please watch out and don’t give him any information and block him right away.

You can easily find out the account is fake if you look at the Telegram ID. My Telegram ID is @PedramAtoufi.

Also I have another account “Unity Chess”. There is a possibility that he contacts you with that account also. The ID for that account is: @UnityChess.

So if anyone contacts you from my side or “Unity Chess” please first look at the ID. If the ID is not the exact same as mine, that means the account is fake.

I’m sending you the fake account that he used about 30 minutes ago trying to get information from a titled player.

This is a fake account. As you see the ID is @Pedram_Atoufi, but mine doesn’t have underline.

Here it shows that he is from Iran.
Mr. Vahidov also mentioned that when he stole his password, he was using his account playing simul in Iran.

Soviet grandmasters Mark Taimanov & Vasily Smyslov in Trafalgar Square, London. Taimanov dated it uncertainly as 'late 1950s' but 1954, when both players were in London for GB v. USSR match, seems more likely. (Photo: Taimanov archive, via http://www.e3e5.com.) #chess

#OnThisDay in 1903, Arpad Elo was born. He moved to the U.S. at the age of 10 where he would become a physics professor and a fairly strong chess player—and of course the creator of the Elo ratings system! That's explained here:

If Arpad Elo were still alive he would be 117 years old today. A close associate and family friend, Elmer Dumlao Sangalang, looks back at the man who revolutionised chess.

When I analyse a position, I have a sparring partner who understands chess amazingly well. In a way I feel sorry for him, because of his work with me he cannot play as much chess as he wants. He more or less gave up his playing career.

This photo is included in the Spanish edition of Kasparov’s book, “The Test of Time”. At least one person in my timeline will recognize the gentleman on the left.

The person standing next to Kasparov is Vladimir Dvorkovich, a famous arbiter and organizer, and father of the incumbent FIDE President. Vladimir Dvorkovich was part of Kasparov’s team for quite a few years. I got to met him in Linares, many years after this photo was taken.

1967 began for Spassky with a victory at Beverwijk. Larsen did not play very well. He also lost this game ... But at the end of the year, the loser was recognized as the best!
