Here. (Hat tip: Howard Sample.) It's nice that the U.S. mainstream press is taking notice of Sam Sevian, even if, as in this case, the news is slightly negative. On the plus side, as far as the tournament (the Wijk aan Zee Challengers Group) is concerned, Sevian bounced back with a remarkable win over Vladimir Potkin in round 4 - a real triumph of perseverance against a very strong and experienced grandmaster. In the tournament where he became a grandmaster, Sevian impressed with his sharp opening preparation and attacking energy, but his victory over Potkin was a triumph of grit.
