May-19-13 | | waustad: I believe that his sister is Annika Froewis. |
|
Jul-06-13 | | waustad: It wasn't a very ambitious start at the Styrian Open taking a 7 move draw against a player rated over 300 elo lower. |
|
Jul-08-13 | | waustad: He has been taking quick draws as black then doing commentary, which may explain things a little more. http://www.twitch.tv/live_schach?ut... |
|
Jul-13-13 | | waustad: With a win today against Boris Chatalbashev he is at 6/8 in clear first for the top Austrian prize at the Styrian Open. Danilo Milanovic leads overall with 6.5. |
|
Jul-20-13 | | waustad: He's defending in a wild and wooley attacking game in the Austrian Championships right now: http://www.members.aon.at/schach1/l... |
|
Jul-20-13 | | waustad: The attack netted his opponent a perpetual, which was one of the biggest upsets of the first day. The higher rated player won almost every game, as is fairly typical for the first round of a Swiss. |
|
Aug-17-13 | | waustad: He's commentating today at the Vienna Open, after winning his first round game. |
|
Jul-10-14 | | waustad: The Fröwis sibs are both at 3.5 in the Husek Vienna Open after 5 rounds. Perhaps we'll get to see some sibling rivalry in the next few rounds. He is quite a bit higher rated than Annika Froewis, so I doubt if he'll take a quick Kosintseva style draw. |
|
Dec-10-14 | | waustad: It probably should be noted in his bio that he was Austrian Champion in 2011. |

Mar-07-15 | | waustad: Congratulations on achieving a GM norm in Wiener Betriebsmeisterschaft 2014/2015 A-Liga http://www.chess-results.com/tnr142... |
|
Mar-31-15 | | waustad: He's playing in the Vienna Chess Masters tournament now. He drew in the first round in a tournament that appears to be designed to get GM norms for some of the younger Austrian players. Georg Froewis along with 3 other Austrians are playing a 9 round RR tournament with the required 3 GMs from a mix of countries. Live games are available for this and the Vienna Chess Ladies tournament here: http://chess-results.com/Live.aspx?... |
|
Mar-31-15 | | waustad: Reading the rest of the article, it seems that the Austrian, Czech and Slovakian chess orqanizations have come to an agreement and one of the goals is to have more GMs representing teams in the 2018 olympiad. The GMs playing are Czech GM Jan Krejci, Slovak GM Mikulas Manik and German GM Rainer Buhmann, all of whom have team affiliations in the Austrian Bundesliga.

|
Apr-06-15 | | waustad: With his win today, he's at +3 with 2 more rounds to go. He needs 1.5 points in the last two rounds for a GM norm. It appears that he's the only one of the Austrians who still has a chance at that now. He won today by fashioning a mating net with knights and a rook. Veronika Exler, on the other hand lost to Anna-Lena Schnegg when the latter player stuck her in a mating net with knight and rook, knocking her back to +1, out of likely contention for a WIM norm. |
|
Jul-12-16 | | waustad: Happy birthday. May you thoroughly enjoy being 26. |
|
Jul-31-16 | | waustad: Congratulations for winning the Austrian Championship again this year. He passed Mario Schachinger in the final round to win with +5 =4 -0.

|
Aug-20-16 | | waustad: He has a decent shot at a GM norm at the Vienna Open this year. After 6 rounds he has a tpr of 2613 and has already played 2 GMs. |
