Aug-22-11  shivasuri4: Though Girish collapsed in the second half of the World Juniors,he still stands to gain 70 points and will move from 2309 to 2379 in the September list.Let's hope he continues his progress to become a GM after gaining the remaining norms.
Aug-24-11  Xeroxx: Once you go Girish you never go Giri.
