 | | xenophon: Was he born in Farnworth near Bolton? If so he was a near neighbour of Nigel Short in Atherton. |
|
| Oct-03-12 | | waustad: He didn't play any FIDE rated games between 2002 and 2011. Since then he's played 5 in the May listing and 9 in September listing for 2 consecutive years. I the Andorra Open is the 9 game tourney it seems.

 | | offramp: < whiteshark: <Player of the Day>> That's right. It appears that GM Norwood is one of 4 chess players born on October 3rd. So every 4 years he is player of the day. |

| Oct-03-13 | | SamAtoms1980: I have his "Chess Puzzles" book. Whimsical, but a nice little trip for those who like to go off the beaten path. |

| Apr-13-14 | | RedShield: <David Norwood, a World Chess Federation grandmaster (the highest ranking a player can obtain), was one of the recruits. “I was studying history at Oxford,” Mr. Norwood said. “Right out of the blue, I got contacted by Bankers Trust who said, ‘You would really make a good trader.’ I had no idea what trading was.” Mr. Norwood took the job and was soon put on a trading desk, but it was too sudden. “It was like being stuffed into a world-class chess match without knowing the moves,” Mr. Norwood said. He quit after only a few months. Despite the setback, Mr. Norwood said the experience “kind of planted a seed in me.” After a year, he found a job at Duncan Lawrie, a British private bank, and began learning trading and investing. In 2008, at the age of 40, he retired a multimillionaire.> http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/09... |

|
| May-22-15 | | TheFocus: <...certain people do improve their chess. In the main though these people are smaller than grown-ups. Children seem to have no problem improving their chess and I do not believe that this is due to a greater capacity for hard work. The key is that adults become stubborn. They refuse to keep their minds open - especially on the chess board> - David Norwood. |
|
| Oct-03-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, David Norwood. |
|
| Feb-10-21 | | Retireborn: Any information about how this guy acquired Andorran nationality? |
|
| Feb-10-21 | | Diademas: <Retireborn: Any information about how this guy acquired Andorran nationality?> He is stinking rich and Andorra is a tax haven.
<Andorra’s tax system is equitable and straightforward. As with any country, there are some nuances and details, but in a nutshell, Andorra’s tax rates are:10% on income for residents and companies,
no sales tax, but there is a 4.5% VAT,
there is no inheritance, estate or transfer tax and no tax is paid on Andorran investment income.>
https://andorraguides.com/tax/rates.... I always thought.one of the perks of having a lot of money was that you could live where you wanted. Not so. These people have so much of them that somehow they must live in small ghettoes in the Caribbean or Europe along with all the other damned souls carrying the same curse. |
|
| Feb-10-21 | | Retireborn: <Diademas> Thanks. I always thought of Norwood as quintessentially English, so it was a surprise to me when I noticed today that he'd acquired another flag. |

<"This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it David Norwood Andy Woodward Baruch Harold Wood would?"> |
|
| Oct-04-23 | | Granny O Doul: Damn, I was thinking of moving there so I could be the Andorran chess champ. |
|
Oct-04-23
| | offramp: There was a chess player called ANDY ORR, A Orr. Was he an Andorran? What about Adorjian? |
|
| Oct-05-23 | | Granny O Doul: Interesting story about the place's origins. Apparently visitors to a region in the Pyrenees would hear people speak French, or Catalan, or French, or Catalan, and were unsure just where they were. So they took to calling the place "France and/or Spain", eventually shortened to "Andorra". |
