He says he is going to try to play more chess in 2010. <br /><br />Congratulations to John Veech for winning the 2009 Tour, even though he did not play in this tournament.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932399031369292876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33487099.post-27804426636885412862009-12-21T00:04:00.930-06:002009-12-21T00:04:00.930-06:00It's rated.
