  • Canadian IM Valerian Adam

    According to FIDE, this BC resident (a Google search shows a dentist with this name in Prince Rupert) is an IM. However - there are none of his European games available since 2000. FIDE shows several excellent European results from 2004-2009.

    This blog http://chesslodge.blogspot.com/2006/...stigation.html (click on "Valerian Adam" below the text) has positive and negative comments on his title.

    Valerian Adam under investigation

    Nadia Ulyumdzhieva from Elista FIDE office confirmed that "this matter is under investigation now". "

    Do we assume that since he is still listed as an IM that the investigation is over and no wrong was done?

    Does anyone have more comments to add? I am updating CanBase, and want to include all the Canadian titleholders listed on the FIDE site.

    Hugh, you as the CFC governor should search the Governors' discussion board for more details.

    As some kind of outcome: Canadian players must have certain CFC ratings before applying for FIDE titles (Motion 20XX-YY)

      So FIDE awarded IM title in 2009.Has the CFC rescinded based on too low CFC rating? Or thats just for governors to know?Going from performing at 2100CFC in 2001, to performing 2600 FIDE in Serbia as a retiree in 4 tourneys straight within a months time (where the games also are 'N/A' )is gobstopping.
      Notice how his name is a acronym of Eugene Valer Demian,too?Sublime. AGaschvindal?
      That Northern B.C. water must be good.:)

        The title application was sent in 2006. http://ratings.fide.com/title_applic...title=IM&pb=13

        For some reasons (FIDE investigation, CFC protest - H.Bond could share more the first-hand information) the confirmation was delayed till 2009 .

        You analyses/facts are suspicions but only suspicions. Could you back-up with trustworthy facts that those tournaments were not played or arranged? ;)

          Shed light on what? I take it that someone at some point asked me about whether Valerian Adam existed, I said yes, and that I played him at least once at a Keres Memorial many, many years ago. He struck me as a solid player. I don't think I could comment upon his chess strength on the basis of one tournament played a long time ago.

            No gamescores, or word from supposed IM.Onus on him to prove worthiness of a blessed FIDE title. Presidentbeing the greatest, of course.
