Last day of the camp. As far as we know, no kids were permanenty misplaced, not more than half a dozen got sick, and most got to bed by 3 this morning. Impressive to see the line up grandmaster coaches, including Kaidanov, Shulman, Onischuk and DeFirmian (in picture playing bughouse with D the previous evening), at the final ceremony.
In the Kolty "B" section, there was a four-way tie for first in the camp tournament. The Washington delegates had to play each other in the last round (travel 3000 miles to play someone you've played every year since 2nd grade!). They agreed to a draw after six moves!
I thought it was appropriate that D got to play at Berkeley, which appears to have been built in part on the fortunes of the Yankees (a Steinbrenner philanthropy).
