Here is the official website.
How come no one reported about this event? How come the USCF is not reporting about American players at the Continental Championship?
…probably because Kamsky, Nakamura, Shabalov and some others don’t play there. The rest of americans are apparently not good enough representatives to report about.
Grande Granda!
I hope he keeps it up and wins this tournament.
