    I will play:
    USCF: 13247130


    Is it game 60 or game 50? If its G/60 then, the start of round timings dont fit.

    I will play also (in U1500): USCF 14017512

    Hopefully Michael can refresh our memory, since its been a few months since last Main Place Grand Prix, but I thought it was G45 (5s), which delay can be standard or Bronstein.

    Game 50, not 60. Digital clocks preferred with settings of 45 with a 5 sec delay.
