|
Dec-10-10 | | pugofcrydee: okkkk |
|
Dec-10-10 | | amaurobius: I hadn't realised what an excellent year Luke has already had in 2010, even before his superb start to this tournament. Keep up the good work! |
|
Dec-10-10 | | BobCrisp: <I hadn't realised what an excellent year Luke has already had in 2010...> Feel free to share. |
|
Dec-10-10 | | amaurobius: <Feel free to share> According to CG database, 24 wins and 5 losses in 2010 to date, including the first two rounds of London. Strength of opponents admittedly variable but it still looks pretty good. |
|
Dec-10-10 | | BobCrisp: I was looking for tournament results. |
|
Dec-10-10 | | amaurobius: He won Canadian Open in July but sorry I can't help beyond that |
|
Dec-12-10 | | SafeNorSound: Luke McShane is like an alchemist because he can turn ordinary material into solid gold. |

|
Dec-13-10 | | turbo231: Luke is amazing, he went from a 2645 to a 2900 plus player! How did he gain nearly 300 performance points over night? |
|

 | | tamar: I like his attitude. He is just enjoying the moment each day facing these geniuses. The win against Carlsen probably gave him 50 ELO points just in confidence. |
|
Dec-13-10
 | | HeMateMe: If he wins the event, I hope he enters the post game room with Keith Richards and a bottle of Jack Daniels. You heard it here first! |

Jan-07-11 | | wordfunph: Hracek-Shirov Game in German Bundesliga 2003:
On move 14, GM Alexei Shirov noticed that the same position appeared in the game Anand-McShane on the top board! Mcshane knew and laughed when he crossed eyes with Shirov! happy 27th birthday Luke! |
|
Jan-07-11 | | kevins55555: Happy Birthday McShane! |
|
Jan-09-11 | | BobCrisp: Not to be confused with <John Keats>: http://www.opioids.com/opium/john-k... |
|
Jan-11-11 | | rclb: Hope Luke continues his great 2010 form into 2011 and does well in Corus B. |
|
Jan-17-11 | | rclb: Great start Luke! |
|
Jan-17-11 | | rclb: 3 wins. Awesome stuff. |
|

 | | ketchuplover: ditto :) |
|
Jan-17-11 | | James Bowman: Hmmm Luke is on a roll, he seems to be able to play above his current rating and this lends credence to Magnus's assesment that he is a 2700+ player. Micky Adams step over with Nigel the Island might have a new #1 soon enough. He seems to be comfortable in many types of positions. Todays game facing the powerful bishop pair was evidence of that. Although he seems to like his passers as a note of preferance. A personable enough guy too. <bobcrisp> can you see it yet? |
|
Jan-18-11 | | BobCrisp: Can I see what, oh great white chief? |
|
Jan-19-11 | | James Bowman: That your prescription needs to be increased Peyote Joe, average pale scout. |
|
Jan-21-11 | | rclb: Great play today against a strong opponent (Wojtaszek). Deliberately chose an unbalanced setup and then systematically outplayed a 2700+ GM. Goldman's loss is our gain! |
