He very well could have made two accounts, one anonymous and one identified.
Well both accounts ARE identified, at least to chess.com staff! They both have the nice red GM flag. I am not even sure if site policies allow multiple GM accounts...
Who is the mysterious GM Phoenix?
Sort:
All titled players are allowed 2 accounts.
did anyone checked the possibility of world number 2 aronian playing here in chess.com as phoenix ??

LOL its not naka
Dude, you have no clue. Who do you suggest?
You obviously dont respect his talent much... Explain how he's easily as good as Naka or even Fabino?

Fabino? Who's that? or do you mean Fabiano?
Yes I mean Fabiano! Duh!

I don't think it's Naka tbh. Phoenix doesn't manage time nearly as well as Naka. Not to mention the swindles I saw Naka pull off here (and ICC). There is no comparison between the two. He may be a friend of Naka's and told him about everybody thinking it was him, hence the creation of the GM Hikaru account. either way, I don't GAF who Phoenix is.
Intresting theory, or. Maybe the new Hikaru account is to throw people off the trail. Still, it may be worth noting that Phoenix has a better rating, and I would wager equal talent.
Yep, right up there with this one: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/conspiracy
HAHA that would be funny? Specially cause chess.com knows who he really is, they might reveal it. Man. I hope it happens.

Ok Ok ...I didn't want to do this... but I am GM Phoenix....it is my other account I use when I drink Red Bull...
GAWSH! THATS LIKE THE 5TH TIME IVE HEARD THAT JOKE ON THIS THREAD!!!! VERY CLEVER, BUT COME ON!
We can end this real quick by inviting him here and ask him to reveal him self. Or give us a clue whom he/she maybe or may not be.

LOL guys you should take in to consideration that this is chess not the Cold War.
Yeah this may not be a Cold War. But we are at Chess.com so somebody/some-group is war with another. So if we have unknown good player many will want to recruit them for the cause as they are seen as new technology from another planet. If they can not have it/person they will.......
Goal identify foreign element in the system (GM Phoenix). See if he/she can be assimulated to needs of increasing strength of the group. If not determine if the individual will join another group, if that is a yes then determine means deal the imbalance that favors the opposing side.
Again this may not be a "Cold War" but their is a war going on at chess.com! Call it War of the Minds!

There is what you think and reality and a big difference between them. You must be new to this site. Which makes you fresh meat. A year from now you will get it. Just remember you can not say nobody let you know.
On GM Phoenix we can talk about this till the cows jump over the moon. Invite him/her here then we can analyze that person properly.

I find pretty irrelevant who is Phoenix, because he doesn't play here (blitz and bullet doesn't count).

Seriously JMB, why would Naka list himself in Vancouver? If he wanted to cover his tracks he could've picked any other continent.
Well, if it was Naka (not saying it is) perhaps a part of him wants to be discovered.
