Players Looking for IM Norms

I’m having an IM norm round robin from 7-11 May in Manchester, New Hampshire, and I am having tremendous trouble finding a player with foreign affiliation who is looking for an IM norm. I would strongly prefer one with a rating over 2300. Please see my website for full details of the tournament.

Thanks for any interest,
Alex Relyea

Do you have any contacts in Canada? Maybe some player from the Montreal area could be interested. Just another area where you can maybe find a player to fill your void.

If anyone is interested, I got ten players, and games are being broadcast almost live at my website.

Has a norm been achieved by anyone?

WFM Akshita Gorti earned a WIM norm.

Edit: You’re kidding.

Congrats to #### Gorti!

yes, congrats to ms gorti. and, really? won’t allow posting of her first name? sad what these edit programs reduce to.

Here is the crosstable. Congrats on organizing your first norm tournament, Alex. I know it was a lot of work.

I guess we could just call her “Atmika’s big sister”. :laughing: She’s a good kid - and an extremely tenacious player. She’s been the last game going in several rounds of tournaments I’ve worked. She’ll be taking more scalps.
