Go Portisch and Timman!
OK, who’s the Axel patzer? And, who are thw two GMs below 2500? Don’t you lose your GM when you go below 2500??
Axel “Patzer” Smith is Swedish Junior Champion and a coming man.
Ralf Akesson was European Junior Champion 1980 in Groningen,Holland. 2nd was Evgeny Pigusov and third was Silvio Danailov, Veselin Topalov´s manager.
Tiger Hillarp Persson is famous for his creative and wild play. He has also written “Tigers Modern”.
Can you imagine Smyslov losing the GM title when he goes below 2500?
Of course, chess titles are for life, si you can even have 2200 and be a GM in principle. And I wonder who good is this anonymous that calls a 2420 player (junior!) a patzer… You better have a better rating 🙂
