Just a quick note to say that I played in a tournament in the Chicago area this past weekend, and emerged successfully, winning clear first with a 4-0 score. I was the second seed, behind IM Florin Felecan, and while it would have been more interesting had we played, the tournament was too short. In the last round there were four players with 3-0 scores, and the pairings were FM Albert Chow vs. Felecan and yours truly vs. FM Aleksanda Stamnov. I pulled out the win in a tough game, while Chow and Felecan had a crazy game - or at least a crazy end of the game - that finished when in terrible, mutual time trouble they agreed to a draw.

Congrats, Dennis!
Congrats!
Looking forward to see the games on ChessTV
Congratulations Dennis! Are we going to be treated to an analysis of any of these games on chessvideos.tv?
On a separate note, I have recently been watching your super fast najdorf series for the nth time and wondered if you could be persuaded/tempted to do another super fast series, on the Ruy perhaps?
Apologies for commenting off topic re the super fast series, I just thought if your army of fans saw my request they might rally behind me and make it harder for you to say no :)
All the best.
[DM: Maybe to both. :)]
Congratulations!

Congratulations! I may find out next month if I still remember how the horsies move ... has it been almost 25 years since my last FIDE-rated event?!
