OPEN SECTION
THE NEXT BOBBY FISCHER?

1st place in the Open Section for a +30
rating hike to 2126! Bravo, Jerry!

see playing white vs David Milliern.
U1800 SECTION

in the U1800 section of the Game 80.
Two wins from complex endgame play highlight the
value of an extra 20 minutes per side over Game 60
usually played in Saturday events. It is always
rewarding to have enough time to essay a win 
from a well-configured endgame set up.
Steve was +71 for a 1584 rating.

Kerry scored 2.5 points to place 2nd with a +28 to 1697 rating.
