Sep-12-06    BIDMONFA: Stephen Gordon GORDON, Stephen J. http://www.bidmonfa.com/gordon_step... _ Aug-09-07    Peligroso Patzer: Gordon had a nice win today in the British Championships on the Black side of a Najdorf Sicilian against pre-round tournament leader GM Jacob Aagaard to pull even with him for a share of first. They will likely be joined for a share of the lead by IM Stewart Haslinger, who seems headed for a draw against Kosten. Aug-09-07    GBKnight: In fact Kosten squeezed a win against Haslinger, so its Gordon and Aagaard leading going into the last round, although they have already played. A good chance for either of them to win it outright, but I expect to see some last round draws... Aug-10-07    Ezzy: I'm rooting for Gordon to win it. He lives only 10 miles from me. A lancashire lad (from Oldham). Haslinger is also a Lancashire lad (from Formby) Aug-10-07    Peligroso Patzer: <GBKnight: In fact Kosten squeezed a win against Haslinger *** > Yes, my posting from yesterday proved once again the wisdom of Sam Goldwyn's admonition: "Be very careful when making predictions, especially about the future." Once Haslinger played 51. ... axb4 (allowing Kosten to reply 52. cxb4 obtaining connected passed pawns on the a- and b-files) White was winning. (I wonder if Haslinger could have held with 51. ... Kd6.) Aug-10-07    GBKnight: Watching the final round live on the ECF website : thehttp://www.bcfservices.org.uk/livec... Gordon looks like he has a good chance to win this position against Kosten. Aargaard looks to be winning now against Flear, so Gordon needs to win to share first place. Aug-10-07    GBKnight: Aagaard won against Flear, but Stephen could not quite win after Kosten got tremendous counterplay and had to take a draw, but still a very creditable 2nd place with Rowson. Jun-22-09    myschkin: . . . Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephe... Dec-10-10    BobCrisp: Currently commentating on the <London Chess Classic>. He's now a GM. Aug-03-12    Cibator: Not the most informative biog on the site. Even Brian Eley (1972 champion) gets an inch more in his single line.
