Oct-14-04    zugzwangdragon: I'm very grateful to this fellow for writing the book "Play the Classical Dutch." I've been pitying my 1. d4, 1. c4, and 1. f3-playing opponents since. Jan-15-06    MoonlitKnight: Simon made his final GM norm at Hastings. And his rating is closing in on 2500 as well. It looks like the hyper-aggressive Brit will finally get the highest title after having made IM at age 15 a decade ago. Mar-24-06    Knight13: Super aggressive player. Sep-09-06    BIDMONFA: Simon Kim Williams WILLIAMS, Simon K. http://www.bidmonfa.com/williams_si... _ Jan-06-08    jamesmaskell: After a 12 move draw with Malakhatko in round 7 of the 83rd Hastings Chess Congress, Simon K Williams has got the rating points he requires to gain the Grandmaster title. Mar-19-08    masterwojtek: <I'm very grateful to this fellow for writing the book "Play the Classical Dutch." I've been pitying my 1. d4, 1. c4, and 1. Nf3-playing opponents since.> So True!!
