Wasn't it Kramnik who was in the can?

My guess is Varushan Akobian.

I don't know, but probably someone below 2600 ? I mean, even against 10 2200-2300ish people, would a 2600+ grandmaster lose 2 games / 10 ? Possibly, it seems a bit strange though.

Going by body height it could also be Peter Leko - but not Peter Doggers because he is not a GM.
On the other hand, looking at the "you devil" moment in the video (2:14), the can seems to play the Sicilian Dragon with black - would this narrow down the list of candidates?

He's just a woodpusher Inside carrying a Toshiba Tg01 PocketPC with PocketFritz running in 1ghz snapdragon..

I think it Michael Schumacher, again...

the can is abalos

It might be GM Jaan Ehlvest

The can is Vishy Anand, look at the way he raises his little finger when moving the pieces. Thin legs and bulky stomach also.

Yes we can!

Everybody can: tea-can, coffee-can, limonade-can, trash-can..

My guess is John Fedorowicz - is there a prize Peter?!

Perhaps they can send a shipload of cans to the winner - I'll ask.

Must be the snapdragon Boybawang talks about, or somebody from Amsterdam

Must be a NY local. Fed after a six pack?

I think it is Peter Doggers

Anyway, nice to see the table again where i lost 3 bucks (under the table bet!!!) in a 5 min blitz game to some complete damn good playing stranger, rofl

My theory is right, Bobby is still alive!!

y cant it be polgar..????????!!!!!!! otherwise it can be kramnik

Anand, Kramnik... get real! The big stars are not financially desperate enough to do something so silly, this had to be a local ~2500 man.

Zusza Polgar :)

Facts:
According to the one player who beat Amp: Amp has been playing chess for 30 years.

According to Amp producer Amp is a GM.

Assertions:
On Youtube site someone posts that they are the person who beat Amp and that Amp spoke with "an American man's voice absent any obvious accent". This poster also felt Amp was not a GM due to poor play in the Dragon.

Observations:
Body build - check out the legs and arms. Height relative to other people and landmarks.

Possibilites: Could be John Fedorowicz, Dean Ippolito, Ben Feingold.

John Fedorowicz has a very thick accent

And Ben Feingold wouldn't fit inside the can?
I am less convinced that a GM can't play poorly in the Dragon, at the most it could indicate that it's not part of his usual repertoire (then my earlier comment wouldn't be very helpful).
Not saying that he lost on purpose, but maybe a clean 10-0 score in the simul would be too good to believe - people might argue that the whole thing was prearranged and fake?

Fed's accent is Big Apple all the way.

Could be Maurice Ashley.

hahaha Feingold not fitting in the can!

Other possibles: Mike Wilder, Larry Christiansen, Nick DeFirmian, Yasser Seirawan, Alex Fishbein, Ron Henley, Jesse Kraai, Ken Rogoff (doubt this one) based on 30 years experience of chess play.

Quite the undignified way to make $$ for a professional GM, I opine, pimping sugar and caffeine.

I guess lesson rates are low during the recession?

"Pimping sugar and caffeine" ...funny but true. At least he was able to remain anonymous. Boycott the product until his identity is revealed.

What next? Why not uniforms with the sponsors logo's all over them at tournaments? Wait a minute....I've seen Leko and Anand wearing sponsor logos on their shirts. Oh well, no corporate sponsors, no pro tournaments....unless a rich patron sponsors the event (thank you Mr. van Oosterom for many great events).

I still don't get the "undignified" comments. Chessplayers need to stop being snobs about cool promotional things. If we keep ignoring business, business will keep ignoring chess, plain and simple.

it was me.

also, the guys who play in the park at that time aren't very good.
