Insufficient notability. The title ("FIDE Master") and rating (2427 Elo) achieved at the game of chess are not strong enough to consider the subject as a notable athlete. The Elo achieved does not even place him in the best 1000 players at the given period. He may become notable one day (say, by getting the more notable title "International Master") but not for the moment. SyG (talk) 07:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - FIDE Master (two levels below Grandmaster (chess)) and no national championships, is insufficient for notability. The article was created by a single edit user - Nemo76 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - with lots of detail, so I strongly suspect the article only exists due to editor with WP:COI issues. His strongest claim to notability would be as a chess author, but it looks to me like the publications are mostly pretty minor ones. Peter Ballard (talk)

Delete - Agree with Peter Ballard. He has the IM rating, if not the title, so if he had penned a few heavyweight books, like a John L. Watson, or coached some heavyweight players like a Mark Dvoretsky, then it may be a different story. Brittle heaven (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
