[what is this?]
Maxim Dlugy was born in Moscow on January 29, 1966. He emigrated with his family to New York in 1979. He became a master in 1980, an International Master in 1982, and a Grandmaster in 1986. 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.

In the 1990s he worked for Bankers Trust on Wall Street as a securities trader. In 2002, he was the investment manager to Russian Growth Fund (based in the Virgin Islands), which invested in a magnesium plant in Solikamsk (Russia's second biggest magnesium plant; the USA buys 60% of its production). Garry Kasparov also served as a senior advisor at the Russian Growth Fund. From June 2003 to August 2003 he was the plant's chairman of the board.

He has his own website at http://www.dlugy.com/.

  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

  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).

  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!!

  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!

  timhortons: grandmaster dlugy is a very strong blitz player at icc....id seen him giving a beating to the likes of tigrano ang nakamura
Jan-09-08   Riverbeast: Dlugy had the highest blitz rating in the world at one point I think....but when Anand came to NYC and played Dlugy blitz, Vishy spanked him like a dog

  Strongest Force: <spanked him like a dog>

He he :) .... i know how that feels. Dlugy is one of the all-time great bullit players and he put a world of hurt on me in g/2. Sutovsky was another GM who was always looking to humiliate me. :)

Jan-24-08   HeMateMe: Hi Maxim. I think you worked on Wall Street in NYC, for awhile. There are a number of strong chess players working in the financial markets, swapping derivatives, trading futures, and what not.

Have you played in any of the intra chess leagues that the financial houses have, you know, Goldman vs. Merril Lynch, etc. I know this isn't serious chess, but I was just wondering if you had met any strong players in that part of the world, if you had any interesting experiences....?

  tpstar: This biography and this player page have both been drastically altered. I remember advising the Biographer to split the information into two paragraphs (chess & business) and also to insert the key word "allegedly" regarding his legal situation, but now it's all gone. The present version appears to be composed by Mr. Dlugy himself. =)

Perhaps it's best if we don't go there, at least not here.

Jan-25-08   MichAdams: I too wonder at <cg.com>'s acquiescence in this matter. Nice to know there are persons of such uncompromising integrity running the show.

Oct-26-08   kramputz: <MichAdams: <Max Dlugy> has left the building. No comments on his life outside the confines of the 64 squares are permitted.> Who the heck made you boss telling people what to do?
