American Kamsky won the rapid playoff 2-0 and Shulman defeated former World Knockout Champion Khalifman by the score of 3-2.
I guess Kamsky still remembers how the horsie moves. Just in case if he needs a quick refreshing course, I can send him my book World Champion’s Guide to Chess 🙂 Good luck Gata and Yuri!
You trained him to play well RAPIDly with that Blitz game at your club, Susan. 🙂
Nice to see ANOTHER great comeback starting at a chess club in Queens.
[Now you just ned to get Sofia to visit your club 😉 ]

Shulman defeated nobody. His score with Khalifman is drawn: 3.5-3.5. He got into the next round because he had Black in the Sudden Death game, which was drawn as well.
