"Awonder Liang Youngest Ever Master"
Story at Chess Life Online. Awonder and Adream live in Wisconsin, and play frequently in Chicago events. They are really nice kids, incredibly talented, and very interesting players.
I wouldn't be surprised if Awonder's amazing record is beaten by another player in the next year or so. And I wouldn't be surprised if that player is from Illinois.
Congratulations to Awonder and his family!

Beauty and the (Silicon) Beast
I was very pleased with the following blitz game, which ends with a queen sac and a beautiful mate administered by Harrwitz bishops. But Black could have avoided mate with 8...Kd8!, though he's still quite lost. When I analyzed the game later with Houdini 3, it pointed out an even clearer win for me on move 8! Do you see it?
