| yalie: Bhat won (or at least tied for first) the Balaguer Open Chess ahead of a bunch of GMs. www.openbalaguer.org |
 |

| Ragh: The title win at Balaguer Open in Spain also brought Vinay Bhat his 3rd and final GM-norm along with the required 2500+ rating to be crowned as the new chess Grand Master. |

| arunjangity: congratulations, it is quite rare to have another gm in the usa! |

| Eric Schiller: Congratulations Vinay! He finally got his 3rd GM norm. He could have been a GM much earlier but like most Bay Area chess talent, he decided to have a real life. |

| dx9293: He reached 2500? He's only 2450 on the July FRL. I'm not disupting it, just curious. |

 |
| dx9293: Hmm...on the website they give his TPR as 2587. |
 |
| Jul-28-07 |
| Ragh: <dx9293> His TPR was over 2600 after nine games, until that draw in last round brought it down to 2587. So, he must have gotten a nine game GM-norm. |

| dx9293: I see. Thank you for clearing this up. |

| arunjangity: unfortunately, we are wrong. uschess says bot does not have the 2500 rating at any point, and has 50 points to go. no gm title. |

| An Englishman: Good Evening: The United States Chess League still lists Bhat as an IM. While I'm on the subject, I wish the USCL would post more games to this website. Bhat has been quite an impressive GM killer and plays with considerable elan, cheerfully sacrificing pawns against players rated almost 300 points higher, no matter how nebulous the compensation seems. |
 |

 |
| dx9293: <An Englishman> He is still an IM. He needs some Elo points to make GM. USCL games are not rated by USCF or FIDE, so they would not be listed here. |

| DarthStapler: Wait so is he an IM or a GM? |
