I take the liberty of re posting an email from the MACA Board listserve from Ken Ballou.

[b]Andrew Wang’s post-event rating for his 4-0 win in the Spiegel Cup is 2205. This is his first post-event rating over 2200, and this achievement qualifies Andrew for the National Master (NM) title.

(As the cutoff for the May, 2010, rating list is this coming Friday, April 2, and as Andrew is not planning to play in any other events before the cutoff, his official published rating in May will also be over 2200.)[/b]

Congratulations to Andrew, his family and all those who helped him along the way!

It’s possible that his rating could drop below 2200 through rerates, though it didn’t change in today’s rerate, which has already completed.
