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.

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.
