other news

Of course, we are watching our fellow Chicagoans, too.  Sam Schmakel has fared well through three rounds, and he is rewarded in the fourth round with a game up on Board One vs. Atulya Shetty, rated 2438 and the favorite to win the entire tournament.  You can root for Sam if you wish :-)
Charles Swan has 1.5 wins, so Liang is ahead of him with 2 wins so far.  Other Whitney Youngsters have won 2 and 2.5 games, putting WY in a tentative good position (2nd place) at this fairly early point in the tournament.
Catalina Foothills of Arizona, who looked like an extra-terrestrial team in the blitz tournament, is a half point shy of Whitney Young.
