A Note from the Webster:

As the U S Junior Championship winds down I'd like to thank the people who have made the work I've done on this website possible.  Thanks go to Luis Salinas---the US Junior organizer---who sent me most of the information on the site, including standings and pairings after each round of the Open.   Thanks also go to "Zek", an old friend of mine who is an admin in ICC; he caught a number of errors and typos on this site and let me know if there was any problem with the games as initially saved in ICC.  He was very diligent about getting the correct game scores into the ICC library, making my job of updating the game file on this site much easier.  I really appreciate his oversight; he has gone above and beyond the call of duty.  Also thanks to Helen Jamison, who took most of the photos on this site. 

There are still some gaps in my coverage of the Open: anyone who has photos of the winners of the U15 section, please send the images to me at webster@dallaschess.com.

Watch this site, as more photos and games will be added in the near future.
