Dec-14-09  Billy Vaughan: Go Hammer!
Dec-14-09  Kinghunt: If Hammer keeps performing like this, he'll cross 2700 soon. I know he just crossed 2600, but I think he's going to keep on climbing. In a couple years, Norway is going to have an amazing duo on its top two boards.
Dec-15-09  Ardashir: Jon Ludvig finished with a draw against Simon K. Williams, and so won the tournament with 8/9 and a 2756 Rating Performance: http://www.londonchessclassic.com/f...
Dec-15-09  Fincher: Congrats to Hammer with this great performance and the 1st place in the tournament!

Hammers rating at the moment must be somwhere around 2630?

;)

Dec-15-09  hand banana: +25 from serbia
+14.6 from london

that gets rounded to +40

2588 was his rating on november list, so 2628.

Dec-15-09  Sofus: Well done Jon Ludvig!! Congrats!
Dec-15-09  sani: Really curious about what this guy will contribute with in the time to come. Has kind of been under the radar of Carlsen all this time, being the same age, nationality, etc.
Dec-18-09  DeltaHawk: I thought Hammer quit chess. What is going on here?
Dec-23-09  waddayaplay: He won Malmö Open too (joint), played Dec 18-21 2009, with 6,5/7.

Doubt he can keep up this performance rating throughout the tournament, but it would be great:D

Jul-08-10  rogge: Yeah. If Hammer keeps it up, he should at least enter the FIDE Top 100 list.
Jul-08-10  Bobby Fiske: Hammer is polishing his skills before the Chess Olympics, where he will play on the 2nd board.
Jul-08-10  sani: Another win for Hammer against Bologan - 3,5/4 now.
