Chris Turner - no stranger to memory competitions competes in his 8th US Championship

If the world of memory had an ambassador it would have to be this man - Paul Mellor (friendly and outgoing, Paul is also a terrific public speaker)



Visiting the championship from Austria was Lukas Amsuess, ranked in the top 10 in the world and a memory Grandmaster. He completed all of the events with a fantastic score, but was not eligible to compete because he was not a US citizen.
