12. Alexei Shirov's Gambling Style Fails Him In The Long Run by Sam Sloan Prior to the World chess Championship in Las Vegas, alexei shirov,originally from Latvia and recently of Spain, had a run of bad luck. http://www.ishipress.com/shirov.htm

Alexei Shirov's gambling style fails him in the long run by Sam Sloan Prior to the "World Chess Championship" in Las Vegas, Alexei Shirov, originally from Latvia and recently of Spain, had a run of bad luck. Shirov defeated Vladimir Kramnik in a match in which the winner was supposed to have a right to play Garry Kasparov for the World Chess Championship. Only the loser of the match, Kramnik, got money. Then, the match with Kasparov never took place, for lack of sponsorship. Then, Shirov's wife left him. Gambler's Ruin - Alexei Shirov attacked and attacked until he ran out of luck. Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu of Romania, who was virtually unknown prior to the tournament but who ended the quest by Shirov for the World Chess Championship and reached the semi-finals. Then, Shirov adopted a new country: Poland. Why would Shirov leave sunny Spain for Poland? Shirov had the best reason a man could have: A woman! Then, the United States Consular authorities, in their infinite wisdom, refused to give Shirov's new girlfriend, Marta Zielinska, 21, a visa to enter the United States to accompany him to the World Chess Championship in Las Vegas, even though Marta is a woman's International Master and is rated 2356 by FIDE. (A possible reason why she was denied a visa is that she is carrying Shirov's child. US immigration authorities do not like to give visas to pregnant women, for fear of manufacturing US citizens. However, the US Embassy had really almost nothing to worry about, because only one of the players at the World Chess Championship in Las Vegas eventually defected.)

Alexei Shirov's letter to The Week in Chess Shirov Letter on Dubai Grand Prix Shirov E-Mail dated Sunday 14th April 2002 Dear Mark, Alexei Shirov I am glad that you asked me to tell you the story. I would like it to be published both in your website and in your magazine. In February this year I confirmed my participation in Dubai under the condition that the prize fund would be no lower than what was announced on the FIDE website on 7th of February (480 thousand USD minus 10% of the FIDE tax). I did not sign any contract with FIDE and neither I was sure that I would take part in more FIDE Grand Prix events. However my confirmation was accepted by FIDE and on 2nd of April at the late evening I arrived in Dubai. The tournament was to start on 3rd at 2PM although some matches including mine would start at 6PM. As I arrived late, I even missed the players' meeting but at the same evening Zurab Azmaiparashvili (who is funnily both an elite player and a FIDE man) told me that Bareev would probably withdraw because the prize fund was reduced to 120 thousand. I immediately said that I would do the same. On the next morning I made a written protest, then Khalifman presented his one and Leko verbally joined us while his manager wrote his protest to FIDE. In fact Leko was the only one of us who had a real contract that actually stated even a bigger prize fund - 500.000$.
