Dorian writes: "Tonight, as usual, I have my on-line lecture. I thought
that the following subject might be quite attractive, especially for German
public, given the fact that Dieter is half German. In fact he is probably the
strongest half German in the country, with a rating of 2678, which
makes him number 25 in the current Elo list. Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu is less
well known to the general public, compared with some of the names behind him
on the top 100 list, such as for instance Khalifman (no. 26), Smirin (no. 29),
Van Wely (no. 41) or Radjabov (no.45). People mostly connect his name with
the success in the World Championship in Las Vegas (1999), when he eliminated
Ivanchuk and Shirov.
This year has been especially successful for Nisipeanu, and in my lecture
I want to show you why, in my opinion, he is one of the most imaginative and
creative modern players. In many of his games there is total chaos on the board,
and some of them can be compared with Tal's greatest achievements. During my
on-line lecture you will see that many games of Nisipeanu are perfectly suited
to entertain the audience and show how beautiful chess can be."
