Jun-13-06  BIDMONFA: Ioannis Papaioannou

PAPAIOANNOU, Ioannis
http://www.bidmonfa.com/papaioannou...
_

May-02-08  niemzo: He just played in the european championship with very good results.
Jan-06-10  swordfish: Now he's beaten Morozevich in 25 moves with Black. See the 2010 World Team Championships for the game.
May-30-13  engineerX: Surely this victory with black against Morozevich should be one of his notable games
Oct-25-13  spysfi: Great positional understanding by a great Greek player in his match against Nakamura today. An almost flawless play after Naka's dubious (10. Qd3) opening move.
Aug-05-17  sonia91: He's back in the top 100 (99th in the August '17 list) after more than 15 years (!); he was 85th in the January 2002 list: http://ratings.fide.com/top_files.p...
Jun-10-22  Albertan: Greek Chess Federation confirms National Teams for 44th Chess Olympiad:
