Hi Again Everyone . . . !
Just a message to let all know
that at least a dozen or so of our regular chess club players who have fun with
us over the boards on Wednesday nights at Starbucks -- and every 3rd Sunday at
Panera Bread Restaurant -- enjoyed a weekend of wins, losses and draws at the
9th Annual Golden State Open held at the Concord Crowne Plaza this past Martin
Luther King weekend!
And just so you know, as
published by Continental Chess . . .
. . . -- young Max H. was the clear
1st Place Winner of his entire division (U1200), winning a cool set of big
bucks, as in $1000 . . . !!
. . . -- Anthony B. tied for
1st Place in the Sunday Night Blitz Tournament !!
. . . -- Chris B. tied
for 4th place in his division!
. . . -- Bob C tied for
6th in his division!
. . . -- Kitty G.
finished the tournament winning 3 matches in a row . . . !!
. . . -- All our other
players there (including myself with 2 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws and a bye)
had their respective shares of wins, draws, and losses, with I'm sure a
plan to play and enjoy the challenge of next year's 10th Annual Golden State
Open, also to be held at the Concord Crowne Plaza Hotel . . !
(Something to look forward to
this November 2018: Strong possibility that there will be another chess
tournament at the Concord Crowne Plaza: the East Bay Open III ?)
See you perhaps at Starbucks
and/or Panera Bread this week, as mentioned in a previous email,
-- Mike T.
