Jaan Ehlvest, Marshall Chess Club Championship
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1197958612.shtml


   The championship of the Marshall Chess Club, one of the premier chess
   facilities in the United States, took place this past week, finishing
   on Sunday. The 27-player field included 5 GMs and 5 IMs, so while it
   might have been weak by Moscow standards it was a pretty impressive
   event for just about any other club in the world.
   The finish was very close, with GM Jaan Ehlvest taking first place
   with 6.5/9, half a point ahead of GMs Stripunsky and Charbonneau and
   IM Hess. Another group of three, including GM Yudasin, who lost to
   Charbonneau in the last round, finished another half a point back.
   You can read more about the event [1]here (and find a crosstable by
   scrolling down to the paragraph starting "GM Jaan Ehlvest Wins $2,000
   First Prize..." and clicking on it). And if you go [2]here, you'll
   find the exciting last round game between Charbonneau and Yudasin,
   with my comments.
