		<description><![CDATA[<style>.newl {display:none}</style><div class=newl></div>Two tournaments in to 2010.
At the USAT North I had a great game with Yermolinsky followed by an even better game with Gavin McLanahan. I will try to post the McLanahan game once I understand it.

		<description><![CDATA[Hans Ree, from New in Chess 2008#8:
&#8220;To me, &#8216;historical predetermination&#8217; is an empty concept. What has happened, has happened. The idea that it had to happen cannot be denied, nor in any meaningful way affirmed.&#8221;
