Jan-05-07    BIDMONFA: Leif Ogaard OGAARD, Leif http://www.bidmonfa.com/ogaard_leif... _ Jan-05-07    Waffles: Happy Birthday! Jan-05-07    Rolfo: Remember him well, the best Norwegian in the pre Agdestein era. Mar-11-07    Appaz: Leif Øgaard has just made his final GM-norm according to http://www.bergensjakk.no/ Mar-11-07    egilarne: Congrats to Leif Øgaard! Now he becomes Norways 9th GM. (Given the possibilities of today he would have been GM in the 1970-ies.) Mar-11-07    egilarne: Leif Øgaards GM title concludes a fantastic weekend for Norwegian chess: Magnus Carlsens result in Morelia-Linares and Jon Ludvig Hammers GM-norm in Capelle le Grande. Mar-11-07    angslo: I wonder if he is the oldest player ever to acquire gm norm in chess history. This is really great. Mar-11-07    Appaz: But does he not also need to raise his rating above 2500 before getting the GM-title? I don't think he has ever achieved that. Mar-11-07    Interbond: Øgaard has been over 2500, actually I think it was 2510, in 1982 or 1983? Mar-12-07    Interbond: In round 8 in his last tournament. Norwegian Team Telio series,Øgaard played against GM Kjetil A. Lie. Lie played white 1.d4 d5 2.e4 , but refused to Blackmar Diemer gambit at played c6.Lie won a fine game in his typical attacking style, but of course it would have been very interesting to see at BDG at this level! Jan-05-10    waustad: Chess metrics rated him 34th in the world in 1982. Their number was 2664, though their numbers and actual Elo ratings do not always gibe. Jan-05-10    Appaz: <waustad> Even if those numbers are correct or not, it gives an indication as to how good he really was at his peak. His bio should mention that he is now a GM. Jan-05-13    Kikoman: Happy Birthday GM Leif Ogaard. :D Jan-05-13    Kikoman: <The GM title was finally approved at FIDE's presidential board meeting in Tallinn on 22-24 June 2007.> :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Ø...
