Insufficient notability. Very low Elo rating. The subject has not defeated a GM as wrongly indicated in the article, but only an IM, which is not notable. Being president of non-notable associations is not notable either. Oh, and before I forget, the article seems to have been written by the subject, which makes a strong WP:COI SyG (talk) 09:17, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. COI, notability, unsourced. Kevin (talk) 09:38, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. However much I enjoy creating chains like this to show that I am better than the World Champion and other grandmasters, the fact remains that beating a master is not as strong a claim to notability as being a master. A 2034 rating is a decent achievement, but games played at that level are not the kind which create wide interest in chess theory or media. Regarding the player profile references, neither establish notability. For example the 365chess website has a large database of tournaments from both amateur and professional events, and any player with games in that database get covered there, including weaklings like myself. It's a good resource, and of quite decent reliability, but entry there does not equate to notability. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a strong enough chess player to meet WP:N, and his other activities are not significant enough either.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, for reasons given by everybody. A 2034 rating probably does not make one among even the top 100,000 players in the world, and thus is not even close to notable. Nor is writing a book, nor winning one game against a titled player. Krakatoa (talk) 19:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the others. Bubba73 (talk), 21:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, for the reasons everyone else has stated and also because there seems to be little or no media coverage at all involving this person. GrandMattster 16:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable enough. --MrsHudson (talk) 05:28, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
