Once in life time! If Jack wins this event - it will be his first time for great and honorable achievement. If I am not mistaken, Jack finished second in USA GAYP National few times (3-4?), but never won event.

Due to slow mail from Vegas (it's only about eight inches on my map!), I just received the scoresheets from Alan Millhone yesterday. The Masters games are now at viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4191.

I have corrected the Kondlo - Sokolovsky game in round 8.
Majors/Minors are done.
