Ian was a great player but more importantly, he made a huge contribution to Australian chess. Additionally, he was a gentleman. I have fond memories of his support for Queensland chess and playing Ian in the last round of a tournament. I played the Grunfeld and Ian gave me a copy of our game along with other Grunfelds he had played. I was very grateful he removed my last 2 desperate moves which were rubbish.

Ian is my half brother and a guy I love very much. <BR/><BR/>I dont know much about chess, having taken the path of martial arts rather than following in Ian's world, but we have one thing in common and that is passion for what we do.<BR/><BR/>Whether Ian is a 'legend' in the chess world overall hardly matters, he did amazing things for chess in australia and, when last I went and saw him, was still giving to his sport and the community in so far as coaching at a school for kids with autism on the Gold Coast. <BR/><BR/>And when I travelled across Europe a few years ago I still rememember people coming up to him and talking to him about games and so on. He is the most humble and kindest guy on the planet and i know how upset he was to retire from something he loves so much. It was a desicion forced on him rather than chosen by him.<BR/><BR/>And anyone that feels it is OK to bag someone who has spent most of their life chasing their dream but doesn't have the intergrity to put a name to what they have written, well, what can I say. . . If you where to tell me that you where anyone of any signifigance in ANY world, I would be amazed.<BR/><BR/>But to everyone else who has supported and left such nice messages of suport for my brother (as I consider him to be), thank you.

Ian was an inspiration to me and to all of the other Oz junior players of my era; his achievement in becoming a GM despite growing up in Australia, a world away from the centre of gravity of world chess, was a remarkable one in anyone's language.<BR/><BR/>And later when I got to know him (and play against him a few times), I admired him even more for his endless good humour, his willingness to help other players, and his enormous knowledge of the game.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your retirement Ian, you'll be sorely missed.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Mike Salter.Mike Salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133817212055957800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-72282488854365815572008-08-22T14:34:00.000+10:002008-08-22T14:34:00.000+10:00I think these comments are classic!

Several of his opening innovations appear in NCO as well as many of his observations being well regarded by the international chess community.<BR/><BR/>The chief naysayer in this thread does have a point - he was never a top 10 player and never even a Super-GM but he remains a player who could defeat said naysayer 1000000 out of 1000000 if time would allow such a thing.<BR/><BR/>Rogers remains Australia's most notable Grandmaster and nobody can deny his contributions to opening theory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-82222605653937076792008-01-24T19:24:00.000+11:002008-01-24T19:24:00.000+11:00GM Ian Rogers is NOT a legend.
