Nicholas Karas, Steven Zierk and I are having a blast at the 109th US Open in Dallas, Texas--as this photo from our hotel room in the Westin Park Central shows. We have plenty of free time between the daily rounds at 7pm for fun and socialization (e.g. blitz tournament on Saturday afternoon). Unfortunately, both of my students lost to higher rated opponents in round 7. On the bright side, I won a fun game on the black side of the Sveshnikov against Jason Drake (2166). Nicholas has 3.5, Steven 4.5 and I am at 5.5 (out of 7).

Post a Comment
I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:
1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.
I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
