Message: Congratulations in your achievement.
You have annotated numerous games here at GK. Apparently this has helped. May you continue to improve. When I first met you here your rating was almost 200 points lower. This is a fantastic improvement but you worked hard for it.
If I can be of any further help, please let me know.

The U.S. was led by Irina Krush, who beat women's world chess champion Alexandra Kosteniuk on board one. She sacrificed a pawn on move 16.
