Cool! 

GM-elect Sevillano is based in California now, but lived in Chicago for many years. (In fact, he used to live less than one block away from my old home: circa 1997, he and I found ourselves in the same laundromat one Sunday morning.)

Actually, IM Enrico Sevillano doesn't live in Chicago any more. But he used to live around the corner from me (we once met in the laundromat). Even though NM Ken Wallach gets into trouble early, he shows why he's a master by offering stubborn defense in an unattractive position.
