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!

Fantastic result! Big Grin

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.

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 Smile

Sadly, round 3 started at 5 pm local time on Saturday, and he lost.

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. Big Grin
