The 10th Anniversary of Ponomariov's Winning the FIDE World Championship
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 12:55AM Some friends of Ukranian GM and 2002 FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov have made a nice video commemorating the 10th anniversary of that fine accomplishment, and features comments and well-wishes from various notables, including Magnus Carlsen and Levon Aronian. The whole thing speaks quite well of Ponomariov as a person - and it's great for him to have such fans and friends!

Ponomariov made a very positive impression when he played that match against Nakamura last year. Even when he lost he was gracious and did his best to find his errors. I saw him in person at the 1999 FIDE World Championship in Las Vegas. I remember thinking where did this kid come from?
I wish him the best in his career and life.
