I have posted the
games from Round Two of the 2006 Summer Tourney. Ten-year-old Anna Matlin's game with NM Mark Kernighan drew some spectators, especially as it was the last to finish. Mark rewarded the onlookers with a rather spectacular final move (see diagram below), which he played with under a minute left on his clock. Anna may be 0-2 so far in the tournament, but she has certainly worried some of our strongest players and impressed everyone with her calm resolve at the board.
