Oct-12-04    Pall: Just got an IM norm in the 2004 ECC. Mar-03-08    nummerzwei: Today, he beat IGM Wang Yue (2698) in the first round of the 2008 Reykjavik Open! I was very excited when I followed the endgame stage of that game on playchess. Good luck to him for the rest of the tournament and also for his whole chess career, of course. Mar-03-08    silvermoon: well done to Bjorn! Sep-26-10    ketchuplover: Bjorn to be wild! May-22-12    waustad: He had a 22 move win today at Salento 2012 where Bentivegna handed him his queen for a knight. He was so worried about avoiding one threat he ignored a much bigger one. May-22-12    waustad: Who knows how long the link will last, but at the momnent you can find the games here: http://www.scacchirandagi.com/Scacc...
