Excellent event. Thanks for posting the results.

Who will win this event? Any prediction?
I thought Finegold was a GM??
I don’t think his 3rd norm was approved.
IM Young has given several chess camps in my humble town. He’s a very nice (but quiet!) man.
Where is your town?
I live in Normal, IL. It’s got a twin city called Bloomington. Last night at chess club, the word was that IM Young will actually be moving to Bloomington-Normal in the near future. So, our small 100,000 resident twin cities will have their very first resident IM!
