Re: Mythos Raffael (Articles and games)
Raffael is indeed an interesting player to watch and I appreciate the compilation of the games. I guess by now everyone knows it is Kasparov and Kasparov is probably one of the top 10 blitz chess players. I still don't understand why he chose the name Raffael though.

Re: Mythos Raffael (Articles and games)
All,
We have all seen over the past few days Raffael logged in to the Playchess server kibbitzing the Kasparov Karpov rapid and blitz games.
It is therefore time for me to put this mystery to bed once and for all. Raffael is and has always been none other than the late great Robert James "Bobby" Fischer. Whilst he was still with us he was logging on from Iceland and playing himself. Since his death on January 17, 2008 the Raffael Playchess user name has been operated by a spiritualist medium who goes into trance during the game and "receives" the moves from the spirit of Bobby Fischer. I happen to know this individual personally and up to now he has wanted to keep this a secret for fear of ridicule but has now decided to go public and asked me to post this on his behalf. By the way when not in trance he is no better than a strong club player.
Sorry for killing off one of the longest running mysteries in chess but at least now we all know the truth.
Case closed.
Regards
