He has also played some as a "guest" to try out a couple of different openings that he didn't want public I assume. Roman has played quite a few standard games on ICC, but he has used at least 30 different usernames during the last 3 years, so finding them would be a big problem as none have "roman" in the name. Larry Christiansen has played dozens of them, but on chess.net, where other GM's have also played... but they don't have the ICC "database" facility. I can pick out the Kim Commons games and post them here if you'd like, and can probably find a few other "standard" games that stick out (where I knew the players)... Note that most GM players on ICC use "aliases" so that they can play without using their "real" ICC login. Several have asked me to let them play as guests or as non-GM players, but they also ask that I not reveal who they are nor publish their games, because they are "trying something". I try to honor that for obvious reasons.
