Round 10 and 11 - Final Update

In Round 10, I beat a very strong German, Raphael Lagunow, in a long game. He was leader in the earlier part of the tournament.

In the final 11th round, I got paired against the top seed, and fellow Bay Area kid, Samuel Sevian. I drew him after a sharp, positional game.

I finished with 8 out of 11, and tied for 5th through 10th...with 9th place on tie-breaks. I achieved my goal of making Top 10 in the world.

See you all back in California.
