Eeek, I will have to supply a better picture of me :)

Here is the game that's on the board. Mr. Yang is saying my (black's) last move (29) didn't make any sense. I was happy with this game (even vs. 2d and the 2d died big) until the review, when it turned out my cut at 69 doesn't actually work (can you see why?). Fortunately my opponent didn't start reading until it was too late.

That's not Paul Barchelon standing next to Chris Kirchner, it's Ken Koester. Ken had responsibility for the strong players room. Paul did handle the youth tournament I believe.

Yeah, that's the idea.

White has some forcing moves, after which the net works. :(

Sorry, it's an old cell phone camera. The blurring is bad, but I liked the composition. The postures are perfect. You are totaly focussed on what he is saying, and he is pointing at the board with full arm and hand, not just his hand.

Jennie's last name is Shen, not Shin.
