In 1984, he tied for 3rd at the U.S. chess championship. In April 1985, at the age of 19, he advanced to the interzonals (he played in the Tunis Interzonal), the youngest U.S. player since Robert James Fischer. He tied for 6th-8th place (won by Artur Yusupov). In 1985, he won the World Junior Chess Championship. In 1985, he took 2nd in the New York Open. In 1986 he played first board on the U.S. Olympiad chess team in Dubai. In 1987, he won the National Open in Las Vegas. In 1987 he tied for 3rd in the U.S. Championship. In 1988, he won the $32,000 Samford Chess Fellowship. In 1988, he won the World Open in Philadelphia ($25,000). In 1988 and 1990, he won the US Open blitz championship. From 1988 to 1993, Dlugy was ranked number 1 in the world in the World Blitz Chess Association. In 1989, he tied for 1st at the American Open. He was elected President of the USCF (the first Grandmaster to be elected President) in 1990 and was USCF president from 1990 to 1993. In 1991, he won the 2nd Harvard Cup man-machine tournament. In 1992, he was the 3rd highest rated player in the USA, behind Gata Kamsky and Gregory Kaidanov.

Jun-29-05		Knight13: Here are the puzzles from Dlugy's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/dlug.html.

Mar-04-07		Strongest Force: In a recent ChessBase article, it's reported that Dlugy is planning something important for the chess world. I think that it probably will be some sort of organized blitz/rapids events for high stakes. Hopefully, however, I would like to see him create a couple more annual super tournaments on a level of a Corus or Linares. It would be nice if he could organize two big tournaments: one in Moscow & one in New York City: the cities he loves (I think).

May-31-07		Knight13: Welcome to Chessgames.com!! :-) We hope that you'll like it here. Enjoy your stay, and thanks.

May-31-07		madlydeeply: Welcome to Chessgames mr. Dlugy. Say...do you know why Kamsky is playing without a second? Aren't there any independently wealthy American GMs that want to be part of a run at the WC?

May-31-07		diemjay: Welcome to CG. :) Cheers

May-31-07		malthrope: Hey Max! Really good to have you here commenting at CG.com. All of your remarks today 'kibitzing with us kibitzers' in the Candidates Matches in Elista were absolutely first-rate! The reputation status board here at CG.com just shot up one BIG notch. It's like having a dash of class spilled all over the kibitzing boards glittering with chess gold. We all wish you a hearty welcome and all the best in your endeavors (as eluded to by <Strongest Force>). All the Best, - Mal PS: Last time I saw you was back in 1984 during the US Chess Championship here in Berkeley, CA. I was watching your games at the tourney and also really enjoyed all of your one-minute super Blitz games with Yaz at the chess party (I'm an old friend of Yasser's).

May-31-07		talisman: welcome and welcome home!

Jun-01-07		Benzol: GM Dlugy welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy yourself here. See you around.

Jun-05-07		ianD: GM Dlugy you are welcome. Thank youfor your analysis during the recent live matches.

Jun-05-07		weisyschwarz: Welcome GM Maxim Dlugy. All the very best. Think about taking on the World in a future CG Challenge!

Jun-05-07		cotdt: I like this game: Dlugy vs Anand, 1993

Jun-15-07		Strongest Force: Max?????? This is Ken from NYC. Are you following me around? ;) (good to have you here!)

Jun-24-07		Mexican Blackbird: dlugy is a great speed player!

Aug-12-07		jessicafischerqueen: Hmmm... What is the point of this fellow "joining" CG.com if he hasn't actually shown up once yet, and it's been over a month since he "joined"? We may as well say <Kasparov> is the latest addition to <Chessgames.com>. He hasn't posted in over a month either. TIE!!

Aug-13-07		Karpova: <jessicafischerqueen: What is the point of this fellow "joining" CG.com if he hasn't actually shown up once yet, and it's been over a month since he "joined"?> User: Maxim Dlugy

Aug-13-07		jessicafischerqueen: <Karpova> Ahhhhh I get it. He became a member to give analysis for the <Candidates Matches>. Once again, you seem to know EVERYTHING that happens around here. Well almost 60 analysis posts by GM Dlugy is surely a valuable contribution to the <CG.com> community. So, as usual, NEVER MIND, EVERYONE!

Aug-13-07		micartouse: Actually, I was kind of hoping he'd make it back for Mexico City. His comments during the live games were nice to read and pretty clear.

Aug-13-07		jessicafischerqueen: Maybe he WILL come back to do analysis on <Mexico>.

Aug-26-07		Giearth: Wink! ;)

Sep-25-07		BishopofBlunder: <jessicafischerqueen: Maybe he WILL come back to do analysis on <Mexico>.> Then again, maybe not...
