Aug-31-11 M Paragua vs Adams, 2011
| |
| GalileoPiccolino: The more experienced and better player prevailed, nothing spectacular to be expected of. Way to go Paragua, better luck next time. Pile up more rating points from the Alushta horizon. |

Mar-09-11 Luke McShane
| |
| GalileoPiccolino: Is he a full time Goldman Sachs stockbroker, or a part time professional chessplayer? Oxford grad. Economics, I believe. Neat credentials.
