Here are the results of the Singles Tournament attached to the Chicago
Open.  Congratulations to R. Robert Hentzel for his field-topping
performance, and thanks from Subash and myself to all participants for
coming.  Just watching some of these players going head-to-head was a
great
experience.  The entire tournament went on hold at one point so
_everyone_
could crowd in and watch the Tom Waters versus Andrew Yaphe match.  Then
the final between Tom and R. was delayed until the other finals were
over
so that all could watch.

The question set (480 tossups) is available through me for $20.
