In 2 hours and 43 minutes the number 11 on the FIDE list scored 29 wins, eight draws and lost only three games (+29=8-3). He lost against Jörg Rutkowski (SC Frankfurt-West), Chess Classic bulletin maker Mike Rosa (Chess Tigers) and finally he lost a game against Prof. Dr. Eckard Freise. The German professor was the first winner of the television show “Who wants to be a millionaire”. Freise has played in an Advanced Chess match in Mainz in 2003 against Vishy Anand. In 2001, the GM-killer won against the Indian superstar in a simul in Mainz!
