Special Report by FM Seth Homa on 8/13/2011. Seth wrote: "Reporting from the Indianapolis Open! Michigan is doing extremely well! I have 3 out of 3, along with Grandmasters Gareev and Gurevich. They will likely play each other in round 4. In the Under 2100 section, Apurva Virkud is continuing her impressive win streak and has 3 out of 3. Not to be outdone, Alexander Deatrick also has 3 out of 3 in the same section. Go Michigan!"
