Loal Davis - GM Yasser Seirawan

Internet Speed Game - notes by Loal Davis

I logged onto chess.net and saw that Yasser Seirawan was playing (rather rare). So I watched his current game and had a challenge all lined up to try to beat the pack to challenge him when he completed. I got to play him (Five Minute Game). I'm attaching the pgn file from chess.net.
