Mark Bluvshtein - Corus C group qualifier

[Bob Gillanders]

I received this message from an interested CFC member today.

"I'm sure you're aware that Mark Bluvshtein is playing in a Corus C group
qualifier this weekend on ICC. I do't have an account there, so I hope
somebody will be able to follow the games and let us all know how he does."

If somebody would be so kind to report on Mark's progress.
