| Jun-12-11 | | Prugno: And he just scored a very nice win against So today, even though he must have been the better prepared player always having a large advantage on the clock in a sharp Nimzo-Indian line. |

Are there any other IMs or GMs with dreadlocks?> Not now, I think Grischuk had dreads when he was younger. |
|
| Oct-21-12 | | waustad: He won an interesting game playing white against the Alekhine Defense today in the open section at 16th Unive Tournament. |
|
| Dec-18-12 | | waustad: He'll be representing Linkoping-Lund in the World Cities Chess Team Championship in UAE: http://chess-results.com/tnr87210.a... |
|
| Feb-26-13 | | jancotianno: That hair. :O |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | JustAnotherPatzer: Cool hair 'brah'!! But where it hangs round his left shoulder (on our right) i'm reminded of a bony, dirt-encrusted hand, a tarantula and (extending upward) a monkey tree. |
|
| May-31-13 | | Minitrey: great result by Grandelius here, congrats. |
|
| Jun-03-13 | | waustad: Happy 20th B'day!
At least the hair that so many people comment on here is ephemeral, unlike the tattoos and piercings that are so common these days. If he decides he doesn't like it anymore, he can get it all cut off without surgical procedures. It seems to be a rather harmless expression of rebelious youth. |
|
| Jun-03-13 | | kramputz: Unsanitary hair |
|
| Jun-03-13 | | Fiona Macleod: Hairy sanitation. |

 | | offramp: < Xeroxx: Needs a haircut.> Hopefully he's had one recently. He can't still have those totally passé, pretentious white-boy dreadlocks, surely? |
|
| Jul-09-13 | | waustad: After 3 rounds he leads the Swedish championship with 2.5. The live site is not very convenient to use: http://live.schack.se/sm2013/r4/
On live the commentator hovers over the board making it impossible to use. |
|
| Jul-09-13 | | waustad: He's still leading: http://chess-results.com/tnr105566.... |
|
| Jul-10-13 | | waustad: He lost today as black against Tiger Hillarp Persson so the standings will tighten up some. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | waustad: With his win today over Pia Cramling he's back in sole possession of the lead. |

| Jul-24-14 | | notyetagm: Nils Grandelius Not a great way to start the <2014 SWEDISH CHAMPIONSHIP> for Grandelius, making an elementary tactical mistake and having to resign immediately after Black plays the <HOOK-AND-LADDER TRICK>:

| | offramp: He is not the only chess player who has a name like a Bond villain. There is also Roland Storm. |
|

| | offramp: There is a picture of him on page 10 of the May 2015 Chess, volume 80, number 2. To my bewilderment he seems to have regrown those laughable white-boy dreads. I'm hoping that some peripatetic soul can tell me that Chess was using an old photograph and that Grandelius has ditched the pretentious coiffure. |
|
| Apr-29-15 | | Volmac: Herre are some recent pictures of Grandelius http://en.chessbase.com/post/dubai-... In my opinion he should try to look more like the Bobby Fischer of 1965 and less like the Bobby Fischer of 2005. |
