Our next list will include Dr. Hans Berliner, 2763. He recently agreed to play in the 50th Anniversary World Champions Jubilee Tournament. He has not had a result reported since 1968. This special tournament will put him back on the active list.

Two of our US Champions, Robin Smith, 2587, and Timothy Murray, 2556 from the 11th USCCC would be on the list but for the fact that the preliminary rounds were not rated by ICCF at that time. David Taylor, 2528, 7th USCCC, has not been active since 1989 and is 3 games shy of a fixed rating. We note that he is now playing on the TCCMB.

Congratulations to Robin Smith on his repeat as the USA CC Champion! In the 11th USCCC he tied two others for the championship. This time he has won the championship unshared with an undefeated record of ten wins and three draws (11½-1½). Mark F. Morss(9 points, 1 game remaining) seems destined for 2nd place, though Ted Houser (6 points, 5 games remaining) is still in the running. To check out the details see the 13th USCCC Crosstable. To view his previous championship score see 11th USCCC Crosstable. Robin Smith joins two other players who have won the championship twice, the late Dr. Eugene Martinovsky in the 2nd USCCC and the 8th USCCC and Stephen Jones in the 9th USCCC and 11th USCCC tournaments.
