Extractions: As mentioned above, J. Shahade, Krush and Hahn participated in a playoff after all three were deadlocked at 4½ points. The playoff consisted of a single round robin (each player plays the other two) with 15 minutes per game. An additional five second increment would be added per move. The secondary tiebreaker would be a five minute blitz game and if the score is still tied, a "shoot-out" game. It was very interesting to see the huge crowd viewing the games. It was especially strange to see such strong players watching instead of playing. The packed room was buzzing with electricity as the women took their places on the stage. All monitors were focused on the game in progress so that the games could be displayed from any part of the room. Hahn-Krush . This battle arose out of an ultra-sharp line in Meran variation of the Slav. This game turned into a battle of minor pieces as the evaluation of the game went back and forth. Toward the end, Hahn began to push her passed pawns, and instead of defending, Krush decided to attack. She then blundered a piece after 53 Nf3+ 54.g2 Nfg5 (54 Nfd4 or 54 Bd1=) 55.Rc8+ and was forced to resign.

Extractions: GM Maurice Ashley won his historic debut by destroying WFM Olga Sagalchik on the black side of a Nimzo Indian. Perhaps Sagalchik's 6.Nge2 allowed Black to equalize with 10 e5 after which Ashley mercilessly seized the initiative. After accepting a dubious pawn sacrifice, Ashley side-stepped all tactical land mines and effectively ended the game with the pretty 30 Ne2! (diagram). Sagalchik unnecessarily dragged the game on. FM Stephen Muhammad nearly upset GM Alexander Ivanov in what was a hard-fought battle. In the heat of the middlegame, Muhammad won a pawn and pressed for the win. Ivanov defended actively and was able to hold the position. While Muhammad was unable to pick up the full point, this game should inspire his play in following rounds. He gets a stiff test with GM Joel Benjamin in round 2.
