    Congratulations, all!

    A 12-year-old winning the 18-and-under section is pretty awesome!

    In this game from the All Girls Nationals, Dallas, 2009White: Zhu, Caroline
    Black: Ballantyne, Rochelle
    1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.c3 d5 4.exd5 Qxd5 5.d4 Nf6 6.Be3 Ng4 7.Bd3 cxd4 8.cxd4 e5 9.Nc3 Bb4 10.Bc2 Qa5 11.Qd2 O-O 12.O-O exd4 13.Bxd4 Nc6 14.a3 Be7 15.h3 Nxd4 16.Qxd4 Nf6 17.Qe3 Re8 18.Qd3 Bf8 19.Rad1 Be6 20.Nd4 Rad8 21.Nce2 g6 22.Qf3 Bc4 23.Bd3 Bxd3 24.Rxd3 Bg7 25.Rfd1 Qa6 26.Qf4 Rxe2 1/2-1/2,
    the result is a draw, but it looks like black will remain a piece ahead after a few exchanges.
    How did this end in a draw? Is the score incomplete, or did someone (possibly me) miss something?
