sure but why stress over it, Ivanov is real, its hilarious, there is one picture of him sandwiched between two ladies like a Gangsta rappa and he looks about twelve. He seems fairly emotionally as well as physically immature.
Accounts I am 100% convinced are genuine:
Natalia Pogonina
Alexandra Kosteniuk
Jeremy Silman
Maxim Dlugy
Alex Fishbein
Iuri Akobia
Jenn and Greg Shahade
Ray Keene
Alina Kashlinskaya
Tony Kosten

Originally posted by ChessPraxisin retrospect i think Carlsens facebook must be maintained by someone very close to him, the latest photographs demonstrate that. Its either that or he has a fan stalking him taking pictures wherever he goes, on tops of mountains or to the local burger bar.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes agree, the one pic of him in a diner looks like a cell phone pic. The diving pics also look less practiced and polished. 🙂

I may be surprised yet and his account might be genuine.
