[BrianWall-ChessList] 2009 Reno Westeren States Open results

[Brian Wall]

The 10 year old that beat me, Luke Harmon-Vellotti, also beat WIM Ruth Haring.

Lee Lahti, Corey Foster and Brian Wall made modest rating gains,
Danielle Rice lost 10 points but her rating may be at an all time high.
GM Ehlvest also lost 10 rating points for only taking third.
Steven Zierk, originally from Germany, gained 50 points.
His brilliancy against GM Loek Van Wely made Michael Aigner's blog, Randall
Hough's USChess.org report and GM Larry Christiansen's ICC Attacking video of
the week. The Incredible Tyler Hughes barely beat Zierk in the 2009 World Open.
