Should be a nice tournament. First time for chess at the Country Springs Hotel? I do not recall any chess tournaments there. Both myself and Andrew plan to play.
Yeah, Veech is getting good! Too bad that Velikanov dipped below 2100 in the same event. :-(
Sasha is young (well, so is Veech) and has a lot of years to get his rating up. It is impossible to have a great tournament everytime one plays.
Sasha likely won't won't dip below 2100. The tournament is wrongly rated in that the first three rounds were rated twice in error. Sasha was penalized twice for the early rounds. Similarly, some people were awarded twice for the early rounds.
Sasha got to 2000 3 years ago, but is having a hard time getting to 2200.
Too bad about Brian Luo too, hasn't played for over 2 years.
John should make master at his next event.
Agreed. Sasha's coaches are not doing the job... a young player should not stagnate like this. Not too sure about John Veech though. He can lose a ton of rating in one bad event. But he is certainly going to be a master soon. It's a race between Parker, Nolan and Veech.
USCF site says that Veech is
Amanov's student. Given round 5 results, Veech should be the teacher.
Stop having a twisted self-serving conversation with yourself about kids. Haven't you done enough already?
I don't see what is twisted about this conversation
Then you are either lucky or twisting once again.

Did everybody know that there are at least 16 sub-species of badger in North America.
Results? Crosstables?
Congratulations to Bill Williams for winning the Badger!!
