Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-21-12  14DogKnight: This talented young man is in the final in the Xtreme Chess Championship:

May-02-12  twinlark: Unfortunately he lost to his much older and more experienced opponent, but he should do well in the future, and not just in Xtreme Chess.
May-09-12  benjinathan: He was 5.5/7 in the most recent U.S. HIGH SCHOOL chess championships. His middle school team won the high school event.

  paulalbert: Justus also did very well at the Bobby Fischer Memorial Blitz on March 23rd at the Marshall Chess Club that I sponsored.He had to play GM Kacheisvili in the final round. Had he won the game, Justus would have finished among the top money winners. He lost to such strong opposition and Kacheisvili shared the top prize, but Justus did win the under 14 prize.
Jul-04-12  wordfunph: 100% Sicilian player, difficult to prepare against Justus :)
Sep-10-12  Xeroxx: "Date of Birth 19898":

Sep-10-12  andrewjsacks: <Xeroxx> Yes, I noticed that too. Perhaps his style is hyper-hyper modern-modern.
Nov-01-12  TheMacMan: Here is Magnus Carlsen LOSING to 13 year old Justus williams from Brooklyn! wow a 13 year old takes down the #1 in the world with ease! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z21q...
Nov-01-12  Mudphudder: Nice win. But I wish I could see the entire game. It's strange that there is no clock and they are blitz'ing out the moves.
Nov-01-12  Jim Bartle: They played another game with a clock under formal conditions, which Carlsen won after a tough battle. Williams put up tough resistance:

I think it might have been the radical slogan, 'No justice, just us!'

Mar-15-17  Prince Patzer: Now he has 3 IM norms and a FIDE rating of 2370
Apr-25-17  Moszkowski012273: Yep... Next stop IM!
