The next week he went 0-3 in a quad and dropped back to 1534.
He's beyond excellent for an 8-year-old, but no Reshevsky. |

| shrdlu: This is the second time I've won a prize because of Bill. I solved the Holiday Present clue for this game. I also played against him in 1988, and won a $15 brilliancy prize for a game he published in his _500 English Miniatures_ . |
