Contact: Robert Rizzo ICCF-US Titles Officer Phone 516 984 7438 [email protected] Official Press Release Dan Perry, ICCF-US Webmaster and NAPZ Deputy Director, has earned the title of Correspondence Senior International Master, as confirmed yesterday in an email from ICCF Titles Commissioner, Ron Langeveld. Dan’s Medal and Title Certificate will be awarded at the ICCF Congress to be held next month in Leeds, England. The two Norms needed for this title were earned in WS/MN/001 and in WCCC32SF02. The Master Norm tournament was a category IV event. Dan scored 9 points equaling the SIM standard for that 13-player group. In the category VIII World Championship Semi-Final tournament he has earned 7.5 points equaling the SIM Norm despite still having one game remaining to complete. The crosstables can be located at the following sites: www.iccf-webchess.com/EventCrossTable.aspx?id=88 and www.iccf-webchess.com/EventCrossTable.aspx?id=15271 Here is the game which clinched the SIM Title for Dan. Dan demonstrates that not all Rook endings are draws! It is a masterful display as he first gambits a pawn to create a lead in development. Dan then employs his spacial superiority to take advantage of the uncoordinated opponent’s army to win the pawn back. In doing so he creates a queenside majority with two advanced passers both of which cannot be stopped.
