Now prepare yourself: coming up are three almost identical pictures of GM Sergey Erenburg. It's your job to spot the five differences.

GM Sergey Erenburg 1
GM Sergey Erenburg 2

GM Sergey Erenburg 3

Isn't that just some fantastic light? It makes him look almost angelic, don't you think?

No, so, really, the five differences was just a joke, just trying to get you interested in looking at the same picture 3 times. Suckers. But I really do want to know which photo you would select if you absolutely had to pick one. I know you don't care at all, ok, but just humor me and vote in the poll?

I'm doing a blurb on the tournament soon for uschess.org. This will include complete answers to the following questions:

1. What aspect of video game design does Alejandro Ramirez believe he excels in?

2. How did Alejandro Ramirez know his sixth round opponent, GM Mark Paragua, would accept a draw in 9 moves with white?

3. Which IM exclaimed loudly after round five, "Beating a sucker is the greatest thrill there is!"
