      Congrats.. nice tournament. All time high rating.. could 2000 be coming soon?

      Have you heard anything about preentries for the US Class later this month? It was a really strong event last year.

      Great tournament! I was following online to see how you and another player did.

      Hope you don't shut down blogging when you get to 2000, because that day is nearly here :)
