Nice incentives, Russell!
This reminds me: who won the special prizes at the U.S. Open?

Casey Xing of Bothell Washington won the Stephen Christopher Memorial 2009 US Open prize of $500.00 for the best score of players from Washington State rated under 2000. Hope to get a photo of him posted on the NORTHWEST CHESS website in late Sept.
