 | | offramp: <Volmac> thanks for the reassurance. He doesn't look like a twat at the moment, like he used to do. Well done, him! |

|

| | Penguincw: And he wins the tournament with a score of 7/9, ahead of 4 other strong GMs. |

| Sep-25-15 | | diagonal: Interview with Nils Grandelius, looking forward to the Hasselbacken Open 2016, and a collection of videos with him from the last years, found on:
http://hasselbackenchessopen.se/inb... (Stockholm's Chess Society, one of the world’s oldest chess clubs, celebrates its 150 years jubilee in 2016 with a grand tournament at the venerable Scandic Hasselbacken in the heart of The Royal Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. There will be an open Swiss tournament with nine rounds in nine days for about 250 players) |

| Mar-26-16 | | waustad: Congratulations on a dominating performance in the Norway Chess Qualifier. |
|
| Mar-31-16 | | Bibliophage: I happened to quite admire his previous choice of hairstyle. Not only mold breaking but perhaps threw off opponents. |
|
| Apr-01-16 | | waustad: Please, look at his games. He is an interesting attacking player. That matters a lot more than his hair choices as a kid. What is wrong with you that you even care about his hair? |
|
| Apr-01-16 | | waustad: If hair matters that much to you, try Wiring. |
|
| Apr-01-16 | | waustad: That should have been: Anthony Wirig |
|
| Apr-06-16 | | Bibliophage: By no means is it the only factor that drew me to his page, I was only trying to even out some of the above comments taking the opposite stance. |
|
| Apr-06-16 | | morfishine: Who cares about hair? Certainly not his defeated opponents |

| | offramp: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/31/l... Essentially Grandelius is promoting slavery and endorsing Belgian rape and murder and mutilation in the Congo. He laughs at native heads on poles and batters the walls of the great city of Zimbabwe. Culture for him grows from the barrel of a rifle. Native art and crafts are to be either stolen or destroyed. That's the Grandelius method. |

| Apr-06-16 | | Karposian: From <offramp>'s link: <"Cultural appropriation is about the power dynamic. When people with power and privilege decide to 'validate' customs and traditions that oppressed people have long been marginalized for by saying 'This is the hot new thing,' then we have serious problems. Or when they refuse to credit the people who innovated those styles or traditions, but claim them as original ideas, then we get into appropriation," she said.
"Showing love for something awesome and doing so with respect to the culture is appreciation and I don't see problems with that, for the most part. I do think white people have to be mindful of their privilege, though, and think twice before hopping on the newest 'trend,' especially if it clearly borrows from disenfranchised people."> God help us all. |

| | offramp: It's okay, everyone! Panic over!
"King Leopold" Grandelius has submitted to popular opinion and removed his culturally insensitive and totally inappropriate locks. Here is a picture of him from late March 2016.

 | | perfidious: <"King Leopold" Grandelius has submitted to popular opinion and removed his culturally insensitive and totally inappropriate locks.> Whew. |
|
| Apr-09-16 | | morfishine: <offramp> With this gesture, GM Grandelius is a lock for player of the year |
|
Apr-19-16
| | offramp: Can we get a new picture of him?
One that reflects his newfound appreciation of the struggles of the races and peoples that he until recently so despised? |
|

 | | tpstar: <Who cares about hair?> I dread the subject. His parents should have named him Matt.
Comb through his best games as you brush up on chess. |
|
| Apr-26-17 | | waustad: He is in a 6way tie for first going into the penultimate round in Reykjavik. |
