        Congratulations from Canada. I once listened to a lecture by him in the National Open about a so-so GM.

        They agreed to draw, then Ben’s opponent played some move to about square f3. What was this about, thanks?

        Congratulations to Mr. Finegold. But honestly I hoping for Mr. Robson to break Mr. Nakamura’s record. The boy is a genius, and I hope there is still time for his last norm!
