An adult player's quest to get an Master rating.
Go Sasha!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Brian Luo is not playing. In fact, looking at MSA, Brian has not played a rated event in 2008. I hope he is doing well and gets back to chess soon.
Once the Waukesha tournament gets rated Sasha will be higher than Luo. A good performance in Atlanta will do the same. He should be a Master soon
ReplyDeleteSasha'a wild first round win is on the Monroi site
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if you can download games (PGN files) from Monroi? I emailed them to ask, but no response. Thanks,

Yes Allen, there is an icon on the bottom right of the screen of the game. Click it and you will get the game. You have to copy it into notepad manually and save as a pgn file but yes.
ReplyDeleteGo Go Sasha!! 2-0
ReplyDeleteHe is playing live right now at Monroi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Monroi game-saving instruction. Actually, I was wondering, can one get an entire tournament from Monroi, after it's completed? (one file, instead of picking one game at a time).
ReplyDeletethanks,
Allen
