Who is the mysterious GM Phoenix?

Sort:
Wilbert_78

The only thing that might be a clue is that he/she stopped playing at 8 Jan. Tata started 2 days later... I would be looking at the people who are there now. Would be interesting to see if Phoenix is back again a couple days after Tata.

Phoenix hasn't played since the 6th of January! Maybe a sign he's playing at Tata?!

Hey guys i'm not a strong chess player but I'm very curious. Here is some facts :

- In this video : http://www.chess.com/video/player/live-sessions-rise-of-the-phoenix (D Rensch vs Phoenix), Daniel said he found Phoenix on Twitter for the game

- The day of the two games, 18/10/2013, there is no tweet about that game on Daniel Rensch Twitter account

So if he found Phoenix on twitter, but there is no public tweet about the games, they organize the games by private messages. And on Twitter, the both account have to follow each other to send private messages.

Daniel Rensch follow only 86 peoples (https://twitter.com/DanielRensch/following) so Phoenix have to be one of this 86 accounts.

I stop here, but maybe you can find him with others clues (for exemple, compare the activity of the twitter account with the activity of the chess.com account).

I hope I helped you !

Good work!!! See, I really wanted to watch that video, but alas I cant...

I think that the principal reason that GM Nakamura is performing relatively poorly at the Tata Steel Tournament is that he is exhausted from reading all the ridiculous comments on chess.com that he would be GM Phoenix.Tongue Out

I suspect it is Nakamura given he's wearing this cap at Tata Steel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL7kVXRDNBI.
