In consideration for the Mechanics' willingness to move this match to Monday, when it was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Miami
agreed to allow them to use IM Pruess (who is an alternate) in place of the player San Francisco had intended to use, IM John Donaldson,
who was not available on Monday.
