He might have been trying to get 100% on every problem, let's believe that!
Who is the mysterious GM Phoenix?
Sort:
Also, if Magnus isn't GM Phoenix, who is he? Surely he plays here.

No one ever got to the bottom of who Blondie was on the ICC. There was also speculation that it may have been Carlsen or possibly Nigel Short..
The honestgirl mystery was solved long ago in another thread-it is indeed Short.

Wow, really? Do you know what thread it was?

There was once a link in the thread officially confirming Short, but that member has since been banned.
is the honestgirl another name for blondie?

Okay thanks! The fact that Nigel's nametag on ICC is Honestgirl is proof.
It's a guy who plays with a mask and uses the money to bring up a bunch of orphans in Mexico.

So you're saying it's Kamsky?
That is an interesting idea! I watched a Live Sessions video by Danny Rensch where he played two games against Phoenix- he lost both, and at the second one Phoenix used less than two minutes for the whole 10 minute game.
Anyone who can beat Danny that quickly and that thoroughly has to be pretty incredible.
Yeah the dude's epic no doubt... He's the best here I would venture... Any competitors come to mind?
Was Nakamura playing in tournaments during any of his logins?
The Vancouver reference and US country really point to him.

Why did you have to tell us?! It was a lot more fun when it was a mystery, and we were making up all kinds of weird theories, but now that we know it's you, well... it's not mysterious anymore! Next time if you have to spoil something like this, at least do it in a suspenseful way, so that when we finally do find out the answer, we feel a sense of satisfaction.

Yeah but why make it so ovbious as to put his hometown? Seems weird, then again why would who ever it is put a city at all? Maybe it is Naka..
Same as why Nigel Short made his an anagram. He doesn't really want it to be a secret.
As far as I can remember, Nakamura already has another official account. Short joined the trend too?
Yeah OK, but you're the one accusing Magnus of making a mistake.
