March Lansing Mini-Swiss
Sanetullaev another 3-0; Faust Wins Reserve
Alisher Sanetullaev won all of his games in the March 2010 Lansing, as he closes in on his master title. I'm hoping for a fourth round pairing between Alisher and West Michigan's favorite FM at next month's Vandenburg Cup.
White to Play
Sanetullaev-McAuliffe, Round 1
Scott Faust swept the Reserve section with a 3-0 score as well. Scott shared with us that a key part of his training regimen is “working 30-50 tactical problems almost every day on www.chesstempo.com.”
