Notable

Arasan again holds the top spot this week, and is hanging in there over
2600.  With his new release 5.1, Jon seems to have got a very solid player.
In a series of games against Crafty 16.6 (Secret, 2 cpus), Arasan won at
least 3 games.  If he can stay above 2600 another week, he's outta here.

We have a new member joining the fray, Galahad by James Swafford.  The
worthy successor to Tristram, Galahad can be found at the ICC account name
jlong.  Good luck, James!

Games played leader, as usual, was Hossa, with 589.  One new high was
recorded, that by Arasan (2649).


Changes

I included the inactive and graduated lists this time.  Probably will
do this occasionally.  XXXX-2 goes inactive.


u2600 Position of the Week

The following position is from the game Amateur - E-tal, played this
week on ICC (5 2 u).  This position should be easily solved by the
commercials, so I would recommend this one to the amateur's only.  You
might use this to work on your extensions or qsearch, if it turns out
that, like Amateur, you couldn't avoid RxR in blitz time.  (btw, I beat
E-tal the next game, so there.)
