MAGNUS in Chicago
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1206894639.shtml


   Magnus Carlsen is going to play in Chicago? If today were Tuesday, I
   might make such a claim, but not today. "MAGNUS" is an acronym: More
   Americans Getting Norms in the United States. This occurred in the
   [1]9th North American FIDE Invitational in Chicago this past week,
   where in addition to German FM Mehmed Pasalic achieving his norm with
   7/9 (and winning the tournament), young American NM Marc Arnold scored
   a norm with 6.5/9, going 3-0 vs. the IMs!
   Congratulations to both players, and thanks again to Sevan Muradian
   for organizing and IM Angelo Young for hosting these events.
