Congratulations Razvan! It has been quite a while since you started playing at the Burlington Club - I see your hard work and study have paid off - well done!

He got an 8-round GM norm, didn't even have to play the last round but he wanted to for fun.

Thanks for the inside report Bindi! So nice to read something positive on this board. And congrats of course to Razvan! By the time he finishes the North American Junior in Kitchener he could have all 3 GM norms!

Great idea! Larry, but better do it soon. I predict that in three months Razvan will not need more norms :D
I still recall that the last futurity you did (at the Bayview club) Igor Zugic made a GM norm.
