Aug-07-05		iron maiden: Was this normal time control?

Aug-07-05		tpstar: As normal as it gets, G. ;>D This was Round 1, so the TD adjudicated our endgame as a draw to keep the tournament moving along. Otherwise we would have played it out.

Mar-09-06		aw1988: <so the TD adjudicated our endgame as a draw to keep the tournament moving along.> That's strange. I was under the assumption that they .. oh, I don't know .. let the game finish?!

Dec-10-06		erabin123: wow finegiold as a young player.

Dec-10-06		Phony Benoni: I remember this tournament. The unusual part was that Palmer and Finegold ended up tieing for first. We're used to seeing the two leaders draw in the final round of a tournament. But in round 1?
