USGO4 [-\]: This will be board 3 of the strong players open, featuring one of the highest rated players in the AGA database, Beomgun (Evan) Cho, and his opponent, rising star Andrew Huang
USGO4 [-\]: I'm Andrew Jackson, your game recorder, whose slide away from board 1 continues unabated, this time following a grievous loss to Solomon in a game of For Sale
USGO4 [-\]: The players are milling around waiting for table numbers to be decided
USGO4 [-\]: Board 1 of the SPO already played earlier this afternoon.
USGO4 [-\]: but board 2 and 3 are due for some fireworks!
USGO4 [-\]: Evan Cho was surprisingly unseated last night in his game against Yuhan Zhang, a visiting pro from china, in what i hear was a nailbiter of a game
USGO4 [-\]: And breaking with convention, i'm actually seated next to the white bowl today
USGO4 [-\]: my apologies ;)
USGO4 [-\]: Andrew is here and is readying himself
USGO4 [-\]: Evan is just walking in
USGO4 [-\]: And we're off!
