I ended up .5 shy in the end due to some unfortunate pairings (low rated opponents with high performances) . If I had converted any of the winning positions I had from rounds 7-9 I would of probably had it early .. but oh well.

Were there any norms?TerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189508044247537368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088203122292402146.post-91345537573669788092009-12-01T18:43:41.223-08:002009-12-01T18:43:41.223-08:00good prediction!good prediction!Eric Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658795004025369386noreply@blogger.com
