Before the last round, they were both in the position to win the first prize of Under 1800 and Under 1400, respectively, if they could win their last game. Eventually, Bob had a draw and shared the prize with three other players. Yakun had a heartbreaking loss, but with impressive 106 rating points jump! A good tournament for both players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360019092704946757.post-79083448492259333652007-09-04T23:02:00.000-04:002007-09-04T23:02:00.000-04:00I could add just this:1.

Pack your bag and go home (after disappointing pairing).<BR/>I was paired with Ivanov (co-winner of this tournament) who was still on the plain from Massachusetts. Waited a little and started my clock and then I was informed that there was a mistake… I was looking forward for this event, and was very glad to play GM – well never happened. My play was unimaginative. It was one of the worst tournaments in my chess career. Points I gained in Rochester I lost in Albany.<BR/>There is nothing to post from my games, but I will not burn my pieces and chessboard yet.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Mark, for driving me. I had good time - on pilgrimage site.<BR/><BR/>MarijanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
