  Tabanus: FM Frode 0-0 Urkedal, Norway, born 1993. One of the many Norwegian promising juniors inspired by GM Magnus Carlsen.

Aug-30-09  Knight13: Apparently not promising enough...

Yet.

  offramp: Frodo today is 21. His great pilgrimage is beginning.
May-14-14  waustad: Happy b'day! I can't really remember that well what 21 was like being over triple that age, but I recall going into the liquor store and buying a bottle of whiskey on my b'day (perhaps Black Velvet, but I'm not sure). That was the only time over several years that they didn't ask for proof of age.

  FSR: He was on <Family Matters>, right?
May-14-14  Appaz: No doubt the most important thing being 21 years old in Norway is that you can buy spirit.

Happy birthday, Frode!

  Tabanus: Finally a GM, congrats!

Apr-05-16  Interbond: Appaz, you only need to be 20 to buy spirit.

May-04-16  Appaz: Ha-ha, you are right, <Interbond>. Too many years has passed since that law was relevant for me, so I had forgot :)
May-04-16  Appaz: Btw, Urkedal is currently playing in http://hasselbackenchessopen.se. After beating three lower rated opponents he also managed to beat Krishnan Sasikiran (2643) with black.

Today he will have the white pieces against Dimitry Andreikin (2736).
