Dec-31-09    redwhitechess: first, happy new year! a great tourney by the young 13 (?) Illya. Jan-01-10    Alphastar: Yes, he played a great tournament and it was a pleasure to watch him play :D These are the games of the A-group BTW, I played in the B-group (1700 - 2200), led with 6/7 with two rounds to go and then I lost a dramatic game which will be a scar on my soul. I ended up shared 5th with 6/9 overall score Jan-01-10    timhortons: <Alphastar > despite that , your still a good player. this boy is another threat to magnus carlsen.
