In the Veteran's event TIMOTHY P VOIGT & CHRISTOPHER BAUMGARTNER tied for first with 4.5/5.0

Although I was the 3rd seed I played poorly to end with 1-1=3! I don't have an explanation for this poor showing. I think I let the first round draw get to me, although I tried not to let it. My record in this event now is 12-3=8

  2. It has been a few years since a High schooler won this event. Congrats to Hongkai!

  3. You should have been happy with the first round draw. If not for a major blunder by your opponent, it would have been a loss!
