The August 2001 FIDE Rating Tournament.

In the wake of the successful Summer Rating Tournaments we decided to go the well once more. The appearance of Egle Morkunaite, a talented young Lithuanian player, who is visiting the United States this summer, inspired Anthony Corrales to run another 10-player Round-Robin.
Many of the participants were young players trying to earn FIDE ratings, but competing against the Lithuanian girl proved to be tough. Egle, who played virtually non-stop (add the Pafnitueff, where she finished tied for first to the mix) surrendered only three draws and with 7.5 out of 9 and achieved another great result.
