On round five on Saturday night, Edward Lu defeated the subject of a CLO report earlier this week, Kayin Barclay. 1842 In round five, Daniel Yeager defended beautifully against James Canty, in an Anti-Sicilian that turned wilder than any Open Sicilian. After 35 moves, Yeager reached the following position. Can you figure out what he played? ![]()

1841 In round six, Yeager plays Lu on board one, while the other perfect score, Michael Thaler of Hunter faces the top-rated 4.5, Marc Arnold. Arnold drew in round four in a Benko game against Christian Tanaka. Arnold is almost 300 points higher rated than Tanaka, so he must have thought little of his compensation in the final position. 1843 Watch the final action live on monroi.com and look for more CLO coverage, including a final report with a big photo gallery by Elizabeth Vicary. |
