I checked the live game just before the game ended... unfortunately Shawn R.L. ended up losing in a Q+P ending...

[John Coleman]

Too bad for Shawn. I stopped watching after Stockfish announced mate in 35, which of course I had calculated myself. So I went off to rake leaves, with my wife's approval.

I think Shawn has another chance for a GM norm if he scores a draw in round 9. (today)

I think so too :) My and SwissManager calculations show that the norm would be secured with 1/2.

[Hugh Brodie]

He drew in round 9.

[Hans Jung]

Awesome news Hugh! The celebrating should start! Hearty congratulations Shawn!

[Marc Andre Beaudry]

Shawn has 4/9 against an average opposition of 2659. This is extraordinary for the young man. Is it true that this is good enough for the GM title, that would be awesome. He also had a couple of winning opportunities in games he drew or lost. Shawn has improved tremendously in the last couple of years and he is now one of the best player in Canada. He must have Eric Hansen in his lense.

GREAT NEWS! In honour of Shawn, tonight at the RA tournament, I will wear a shirt that I bought only because I saw him wearing it years ago. I suspected he would succeed, but this is SO FAST!

[Hans Jung]

It would be great to have a special Shawn Supergrandmaster Shirt! What do you think?

[John Coleman]

Maybe people who lose to SRL could be eligible for a special club: Shorn by Shawn

T-shirt design, anyone?

[Hans Jung]

I'll line up for that. It would be an honour to lose to Shawn!
