Terry Song also managed to draw against GM Aleksandr Lenderman.

Quite the R1 for two of Zehn's closest chess friends, Mark and Terry. (:

Also of note, Maili-Jade Ouellet has 4/5 in the U2200 section. (:

Re: 44th World Open June 30-July 4, 2016 Philadelphia

Maili-Jade Ouellet (2078) has an impressive 4/5 in the U2200 section.

There are Canadians scattered throughout the other sections. One that comes to note is Daniel Wang (BC) in the U1400 section, who re-entered twice, and has an unimpressive score of 2.5/5. (you can't re-enter in the Open section).

1,048 players in all sections.
