The American delegation bombed badly. That’s too bad.
Although he was probably disappointed in his own performance, Josh Friedel was seeded 102th and finished 76th. That can hardly be considered “bombing badly”
Congrats to Anna Muzychuk for winning
Moscow open!
But as a fan of GM Kathy Lahno ,I must say I was shocked watching how she blew already won game in round 7 vs WFM Girya Olga and lost…
(Susan ,in the case you didn’t see the game make sure to examine how Kathy made blunders in elo1000 style.I won’t copy and paste PGN here.Just too painful for my eyes.I simply don’t know what came to her in that game).
If she won that game she would shared 1st place with Anna.
