McShane is a new member of 2700 club

According to http://www.2700chess.com, Luke McShane now has a live rating of 2701 after a really impressive victory today against Potkin in the Bundasliga.

It will be interesting to see how much chess he decides to play in his spare time, in particular whether he makes himself available for this year's Olympiad. Potentially England could have 3 2700-rated players + Jones/Sadler(who has stated he wants to play).
