Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-09-05  DanRoss53: Mr. Grant sure doesn't like to resign... most of his losses are over at least ten moves before they officially end.
Aug-09-05  Robin01: "No one ever won a game by resigning"
Jul-25-06  tino72: Recently crowned 2006 Scottish champion. Completing a possible world record: i.e. first husband and wife (Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant) to win their full national championship. And to complement the above posters, he is well known for his aversion to resigning!
Jan-14-10  JonathanJ: so he's a born IM?
Jul-19-10  mike1: Here is a picture of him after winning the 2006 Scottish champs.
