GM Yury Shulman won the 2008 Frank K. Berry U.S. Championship and IM Anna Zatonskih won the 2008 FKB U.S. Women’s Championship — in just about as opposite a fashion as is possible. Yury had it short and sweet, while Anna’s road was long and exhausting. Eight moves for Yury today — and about 248 moves for Anna!
The game Friedel – Shulman was a quick draw since a peaceful result was very agreeable to both. Yury iced the title and Josh earned his 3rd and final GM norm with a draw. Apparently Josh gets the title as soon as his rating surpasses 2500, which everyone believes will happen soon.
