Who is the mysterious GM Phoenix?

He is GM Phoenix.

The other day I was in a laundromat in Jackson, Mississsippi. I looked over, and there was Magnus Carlsen. I asked him "who are you", and he replied "Magnus", and I said "no, who are you really? GM Phoenix? GM Hikaru? Smallville?"

I never got an answer out of him, so I really dont know who he was. Other than the name he goes by in the non-cybernetic world.

In other news: Shakespeare was not written by Shakespeare!

It was actually writen by a guy who just happened to be named Shakespeare, just to throw us all off the trail.

He's probably Anand trolling us all - " yeah f**k u bitc**s , I play here when I am drunk" Cool

He can still be Carlsen.

Carlsen played the french in a lot of rapid/blitz (E.g. Amber).

Also Nakamura has played it in blitz.

My guess

50%Naka

20%Carlsen

20%Anand (also played the French- also, a phoenix rises from his ashes)

8%Ivanchuk (troll)

2%Kamsky

I actually really like those guesses. Me and you are on the same page. As to George, have you seen Phoenix play? OMG he's inredible, he almost never loses. Naka was on his regular account earlier and he wasn't much better than Phoenix.

Still trying to find out the mysterious part.

I find it mysterious when your woman cooks you dinner

and you have no clue what it is

and she says it is your favorite.   (~) ^ (?)

Avatar of royalbishop

Even more mysterious is that it has fur on it and still moving.

lol, I love how people are putting forth the fact that Naka has an account as if it is evidence he is not Phoenix.

Avatar of megaadam666

Seriously JMB, why would Naka list himself in Vancouver? If he wanted to cover his tracks he could've picked any other continent.

It is evidence, though not very strong evidence. He very well could have made two accounts, one anonymous and one identified.

I think whats stronger proof it's not nakamura is if you look at phoenix's games and look at nakamura's games, its clear they are different people.
