Avoid All Losses

Greetings,

 

Tonight starts the June Swiss 90 (G/90+30, 4SS, $10 entry, USCF-rated, prizes)!

Last week at the Colorado Springs Chess Club, FM Joe Friedman gave a simul.  I told him that I promised the prizes to the first players to win, but if he could avoid all losses, he could keep the prizes.  Well, he didn't lose a game but decided to donate the prizes to the players.
