I played very well and got 3.5 out of 5. I did not play GM Kudrin again, though he was here.
There was another class A player who scored 4 out of 5, so I did not win the top under 2000 prize.
I made an even score against the 3 masters I played! Perhaps I have broken through the plateau I have been on. Certainly the work I have done this past year on endgames helped in all the games but my one loss, (I missed an xray tactic).
I am getting more comfortable with the Catalan structures I am trying to get with white, but I still have more work to do there. When the mixed up schedule of summer is over, I think I will try some turn by turn games on Chess.com.
Update: I achieved my first Candidate Master Norm.
