Gajewski won the Polish Chess Championship in 2015.

Gajewski played for the Polish team in the Chess Olympiads of 2008 in Dresden, where he played on the fourth board scoring 6½ points from 10 games, and 2014 in Tromso.

Mar-07-11  Kazzak: Hmmm. Have played through Mr. Gajewski's games. Inventive play and strong. It appears he's gone through an evolution in his development as a player.

This year's La Capelle had a formidable field, and two dosen players were in contention for the top spot, which Gajewski decided with half a point's margin. His La Capelle games are worth studying. Pgn at official site.

  offramp: He is 33 today, and he is therefore Player of the Day.

I will remember him because of this great cg.com kibitz:

Lev Polugaevsky (kibitz #100)

<I kinda hope the Polish GM Grzegorz Gajewski will produce a son he'll name Paulo.

Seems to me <Paulo Gajewski> would be pronounced very much like <Polugaevsky>.>

Werle - Gajewski, 2016

Black played the surprising 28... ♘h4!?. After 29. gxh4 gxh4 White would have two moves to rescue the loose ♗h5 but would be unable to save it.
