FM Felecan – IM Kraai: 1/2-1/2
Shankar – Loncarevic: 1/2-1/2
IM Young – IM Vigorito: 1/2-1/2

Standings after 2 Rounds:

1st – 4th (1.5/2.0) – Young, Vigorito, Kraai, Felecan
5th – 6th (1.0/2.0) – Chow, Shankar
7th – 10th (0.5/2.0) – Vishnuvardhan, Pasalic, Turgut, Loncarevic

I counted 17 onlookers include John Buky and Yakov Lazebnik! We broadcasted 1 game on the Internet Chess Club.

Thanks much to John Broderick who once again came out and relayed games. Thanks to the staff at the TMCC for going next door to quite down the noisy neighbors and making the food runs for myself and the players (again!).
