Re: Final Results

Congrats to Nicholas Vettese - shared first and now a Master.

What are the requirements to become a national master? I thought it was three 2300+ performance in tournaments of at least 5 rounds (he has one so far). In any case, I don't think it should be too long before he gets his last norms.

[Halldor P. Palsson]

Re: Final Results

The kid is 10 and will be over 2200 after the tournament. That was my Master comment.

National Master - give him a few tournaments and he can ask the CFC for the certificate.
