Fisch was in top form, not only winning both games and trouncing Catlin at ping pong, but even upsetting speed daemon Czuhai 3-1 in an impromptu end-of-the-night 5 minute duel.

Michael saw his rating rise to 2073. Most impressive was his tough counterpunching in his second game against counterpuncher extraordinaire Czuhai to score 50% against our local masters.
