  • GM norm for Gerzhoy?

    Leonid looks to be on track for his third and final GM norm at the Continental Masters tournament. He is half a point behind tourney leader Shabalov. Gerzhoy has 6 points from 8 games and probably a draw in today's final round would clinch it!

    Re: GM norm for Gerzhoy?

    It's looking good:

    Gerzhoy has played 3 GMs, 5 Title Holders, 7 rated.

    The problem in US tournaments is often not enough foreigners, a maximum of 6 from one country. He has only played 5, so he's OK.

    Loses score 6 required minimum 2475, if he loses to Stripunsky 2549 opp avg 2437 No norm.

        Isn't it his final norm (as he already reached 2500 FIDE)? This would mean that Canada has a new GM!

            This is his 2nd GM norm guys, please stop spreading false information. How do I know? I talked to the guy over our many smoking sessions during games at the tournament site.

              Thanks for correcting me, Bindi. We were told last summer at the Quebec Open that he already had two norms, but I guess we should have inquired to him directly. It would be great if the FIDE website displayed all the norms in the player's profile...
