As well he might. How far do you have to go back before you get an achievement of similar standing from a British chesser?

Dortmund 1980 was Category 8, so not exactly a comparable achievement, even allowing for a little inflation.Andrew Bak wrote:Ray Keene was happy to lavish praise for Mickey on Twitter:Jonathan Bryant wrote:As well he might.
