SCENES FROM 
OTHER MATCHES
John Graf v Joaquin Carlson, Round 3.  John won this
match to secure a birth in the Reubens Landey.
Joaquin would have to fight for a win in Round 4 and
hope that John lost his match.  This turned out to be the
case so both players were tied with 3/4 and won free
entries into the Reubens Landey! (background): Jared Carlsen
vs Justin Y Li. Jared won this game to score 2/4 in the event.
Jared is the father of Joaquin and Jericho Carlson!  
Bravo, dad!
Bob Oresick, black vs former Weaver Adams Champion,
Frank Frazier duke it out in Round 3. Bob won this
encounter to break even in the event with 2/4! Bravo, Bob!
Frank also scored 2 points to finish in the cross-table
with a piece of 4-7th place, along with Bob, Tom Medrek
and Jared Carlson.
Tom Pendergast vs Steve Stepak, Round 3: draw!
Steve Stepak, black vs Jared Carlson, Round 1.
[Besides having a significant height advantage (7 inches)
Jared came at me with a 4 pawn attack which I was not
totally familiar with. Well I made all the mistakes one
can make vs this opening and got carved up.
But! I was motivated to go back to the drawing board
and learn this open more thoroughly!  Jared,
thanks for push. And great fighting chess!
