Jan-24-05		MidnightDuffer: Papaioannou is one to watch! Defeating Krasenkow.

Jan-04-06		EmperorAtahualpa: He is currently Greece's second highest rated player on FIDE.

Jan-04-06		EmperorAtahualpa: (second behind Kotronias obviously)

Jun-13-06		BIDMONFA: Ioannis Papaioannou PAPAIOANNOU, Ioannis http://www.bidmonfa.com/papaioannou... _

May-02-08		niemzo: He just played in the european championship with very good results.

Jan-06-10		swordfish: Now he's beaten Morozevich in 25 moves with Black. See the 2010 World Team Championships for the game.

May-30-13		engineerX: Surely this victory with black against Morozevich should be one of his notable games

Oct-25-13		spysfi: Great positional understanding by a great Greek player in his match against Nakamura today. An almost flawless play after Naka's dubious (10. Qd3) opening move.

Aug-05-17		sonia91: He's back in the top 100 (99th in the August '17 list) after more than 15 years (!); he was 85th in the January 2002 list: http://ratings.fide.com/top_files.p...
