The 6th North American FIDE Invitational event is more than halfway complete. After 5 rounds of the nine-round tournament, IM David Vigorito stands alone in first, with a score of 4.5 points. FM Ray Robson, still in the hunt for his first IM norm, is in second place with 3.5 points. It certainly won't be easy, but if Ray can amass 3 points in the final four rounds, he'll bag that norm.
