Jul-01-03    chessgames.com: We now have the scores from the Greenland open, which featured a line-up of super-strong GM's from all over the world. Luke McShane swept the event with an incredible 8.5/9 score. Oct-20-05    EmperorAtahualpa: My god, there is even a GREENLAND open?? Nov-15-05    sleepkid: the amateur section was hotly contested by some sled dogs, two icebergs and a polar bear. (my apologies to all Inuits, I'm sure Greenland is a lovely country.) Did anyone know that Greenland was named such as a clever marketing ploy by a viking to get people to settle there? Angus Tinker: That's it for me! I'm off to Greenland! Pepperpot: Sounds lovely! (more apologies to the Inuits and the sled dogs.) Feb-16-09    Dredge Rivers: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
