;W[el]C[USGO3 [-\]: I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think this is an Open, but rather it's by invitation
USGO3 [-\]: and no, one tournament isn't enough at Congress:)
USGO3 [-\]: USGO1 and USGO2 are also showing the top boards of the North American Masters Tournament
guapo [2k\]: ok :), btw i checked and w has won all his 5 games he's played
]
;B[cl]C[USGO3 [-\]: Players in that have competed throughout the year for the privilege.
USGO3 [-\]: Thanks, guapo.
USGO3 [-\]: Black is taking a break.
guapo [2k\]: black looks solid everywhere
guapo [2k\]: something around r10 next
USGO3 [-\]: I am recording the moves as close to when they are played as I can.
USGO3 [-\]: This way you can get a feel for the player's pacing.
USGO3 [-\]: White has 81 minutes and Black has 75 minutes basic time remaining.
xedover [?\]: actually, we've got him on 5 sec delay just in case he misclicks
xedover [?\]: jk :)
USGO3 [-\]: or curses:)
guapo [2k\]: i bet w will win the open after defeating the "wonder kid" this morning
USGO3 [-\]: Black has returned to the table.

atarinogo [?\]: The website doesn't explain "Strong Players Open"
Euphony [3k\]: thanks atrainogo, I was wondering that.
guapo [2k\]: prolly invitational as well, usgo was saying players had to earned their qualifications for NAM
guapo [2k\]: throughtout the year
xedover [?\]: The Strong Players Open is open for the top 16 players who, for whatever reason, didn't or couldn't qualify for the NA Masters
USGO3 [-\]: White has 42 minutes, Black has 19
garrison3: b can either f10 or g12, tough choice for w
