38th FNA

  The 38th FNA was a small, but strong event, with NMs Peter Minear and Rodion Rubenchik each scoring 3.5 - 0.5.  Each had an especially tough game against a lower rated foe, but was able to win out in the end.  Jerry Connicello finished just a half point back at 3.0 - 1.0.   Full results can be seen at: http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?201202103022 .
