Congrats to Vishnu! It’s very likely that next year I will be taking Josh to this neat place called Trinidad for a second time or to Jamaica. He loves the Caribbean atmosphere.
That would be great! A few friends have told me that it’s easier to get the IM norm by playing overseas. Just recently, if Josh had played two more foreign players at the Washington Int’l, he would have been in good position for his first IM Norm. The problem with getting a Norm here is that there are too many independent factors that can ruin one’s chance in spite of of how well you perform. Hopefully, Suzan Polgar will invite them to one of her Norm tournaments like she has done in the past for Naroditsky, Robson and Yang. It’s much easier to get a norm in those type of tournaments.
