Mar-12-12  Mudphudder: Wow, what an upset!!
Mar-13-12  Shams: Technically speaking I don't think a draw can ever be counted as an "upset", but definitely a great performance from Bharat.

Ashley has rust he needs to shake off.

Apr-19-12  Mudphudder: Sure a draw can be counted as an "upset". Now if I were to hold Kasparov to a draw....who in their right mind would not consider that an upset??? In this game there was a 500-pt rating difference...that's definitely an upset.
Apr-19-12  Shams: <Mudphudder> Accomplishment yes; upset no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upset
Sep-17-13  bigmell: After a 6 year layoff from big tourney play his first game is a Sicilian dragon. Doh... I guess thats why he didnt play a Yugoslav and go after this guy.
