My best tournament result.

I didn't remember what year the tournament was, but I found it.  I got a draw against soon to be Grandmaster Igor Ivanov and came in second.

This was a time when I felt like studying tactics was really helping me.  Just looking at my rating progress, I went from 1800 even to 1927 in just 5 months, but it would take another 9.5 years before I would hit 2000!


There were a few other good results in recent years like ..


and getting the Expert trophy at the class championship a couple of times.   Of course, winning the senior championship 3 times didn't hurt either.
