How about that NN guy?  Didn't he always have a thing for grabbing pawns?  He is famous for a different reason than winning though, I am afraid :-P

Korchnoi had a reputation for being a fearless pawn grabber.

EDIT: Sorry, already mentioned by Estragon.

We know that rich Wink I think the opener refers to grabbing "hot" pawns, where the opponent gets compensation. Some players are know for their willingness to embark a long difficult defense for material compensation.

Can Gata Kamsky bet put in this catagory or is he just a hardcore defender.
