Surprised by the result against BC. Should have been a lot closer, I guess that BC does not use scholastic ratings too much as they are a lot stronger than their ratings.
I would suggest that for players that are active in CFC tournaments, the CMA ratings don't mean much.
Grade 3 results for the 7th round just came in and it looks like BC will take first and we take second. Still a good result for Dezhong.
Weixi, Trevor and Michael are also in contention for medals
There is a story on Susan Polgar's blog about the (only) player that Dezheng lost to.

Susan has a terrible practice of copying from other blogs and pasting the entire text and pictures into her blog.
A simple reference and link is the accepted practice.
