Sorry to say Ryan Griffiths didn't make the International masters norm this time. It was a lot to expect - a win with black against an International master in the final round.
However, it's just a matter of time and I definitely think this year Ryan will achieve at least one norm result.
Still a good performance at the Hastings tournament - well done Ryan on a good scalp and keep up the great work. Your making us proud.

Hastings Congress 2010-11 Update
Ryan Rhys Griffiths had a good day today winning a lovely game against Australian International Master Alexsandar Wohl. It was a great game to watch as Wohl realized his position was lost from very early on. He tried to complicate the game but Ryan had it all under control and the win was never in doubt. So Ryan has 5 points after seven rounds and should have a difficult pairing in the next round.
In my opinion Black is winning from as early as move nine - what do you think?

Hastings Masters 2010-2011
It's good to see Ryan Rhys Griffiths having a nice run in the 2010-2011 Hastings Masters. After six rounds he has four points. Losing only one game: in the first round to GM Kotronias (2591). Below I give today's round (6) game in which he holds Valerly Neverov (2522) to a draw.
Nice one Ryan!! Anyone interested in the Hastings Masters or in Ryan Rhys Griffiths progress should keep an eye on the Hastings Congress site here.
