+{The first time I played vs. by far the most frequent opponent of mine,
+Vladimir_VP. We played 23 games, the score being +9-9=5. His account was later
+suspended for "Fair Play" violations. Not sure what was this all about, but
+I suspect he was accused of cheating. He did gain a few hundred rating points
+in a very short time span, but I did beat him and made a few draws. It was very
+nice actually: we arranged games, and sort of became buddies over the Internet.
+He was very polite, and a better chess player. I miss those times, and a few of
+the games were really interesting, so I'm annotating a few to commemorate. The
+first game ended after a silly blunder by me.}
