Mar-28-08    emmi: Shulman!! Mar-28-08    mckmck: Gongrats from World Team. Mar-28-08    lonepsycho: Congrats, Mr. Shulman! I notice that you are not responding to the exaggerated fianchetto of the Queen's Indian with 5.b3 any longer! 5.Qc2 is perhaps a more challenging response (in light of 12. ... f5, which even Anand has adopted!). Mar-28-08    DarthStapler: I've always wanted to play in this tournament, it's close to where I live but I've never had the time Mar-28-08    t3hPolak: Nice one, Yury! Mar-29-08    xrt999: Just think, Darth, you could be paired up against Yury in round one and be immortalized forever right here at CG.com....... Mar-31-08    Knight13: Naka didn't play!? WTH... Mar-31-08    Peligroso Patzer: According to the chess column in yesterday's New York Times, which featured a game by high school sophomore, Robert Hess, here is a summary of the results from this tournament: Robert Hess, a sophomore at Stuyvesant High School in New York and an international master, "played seven grandmasters in the last seven rounds, scoring four wins, two draws and a loss. This netted him a grandmaster norm, one of three needed to earn the title. "It also gave Hess a share of first place with four grandmasters — Yuri Shulman, Alexander Ivanov, Alexander Shabalov and Julio Becerra. Shulman won the title by beating Ivanov in an 'Armageddon' playoff — a blitz game in which White has six minutes while Black has five but need only to draw to be declared the winner." Apr-01-08    Riverbeast: Stuyvesant racks up again!! (My alma mater)...Nice job Hess
