Icelandic Open - D-Oswald - 01-06-2013
Fantastic start for Mikey G in this one...

Apparently there were queues of Icelandic players waiting to shake his hand after, and quite rightly so! Superb! Keep it up mate!
Re: Icelandic Open - Andrew McHarg - 01-06-2013
Fantastic result!
Gudmundur Kjartansson next, and if my memory serves me correctly he's the guy who got a GM norm at the Scottish championship two or three years ago? Should be an interesting clash.
Re: Icelandic Open - Graham Kerr - 01-06-2013
Wow!!!
Re: Icelandic Open - D-Oswald - 01-06-2013
Yes Andrew you are right, Gudi got a GM norm at the Scottish in 2009. Apparently he was the world u12 number 3, and has a plus score against Carlsen but I'm sure Mikey will do the business tomorrow
Re: Icelandic Open - Andy McCulloch - 02-06-2013
Sadly, round 3 started at 5 pm local time on Saturday, and he lost.
Re: Icelandic Open - D-Oswald - 02-06-2013
Ah yea of course it was the double rounder!
Shame about the result, Mikey hadn't seen that line in the benoni before and unfortunately went wrong. Think he has a FM today though, another good game!

Absolutely cracking scalp from Mikey G. He did it with some style too.
On a related note, it is shaping up to be quite a busy summer abroad for Scots, so could there maybe be a "Scots Abroad" section to keep up to date with how people are doing?

Good idea. I've now created an area for this.

Anyone got a copy of the GM scalp game? 8)
