Dear Members,
We had a fine tournament to celebrate our 20th Anniversary last Saturday, Oct. 3. It was the largest fall tournament we have had in many years, with 48 players participating. Our well organized TD’s, Bill Chiles and Dan Top, kept the event on schedule despite the large crowd. The players were smoothly distributed in terms of strength, so that most of the handicapped games used small handicaps. (88% of the handicapped games used two stones or just komi to balance the games.)
The Open Section had 8 players and was won by Edward Kim 7d. Edward bested Chanseok Oh, Jeremiah Donley, and Peter Nelson in his three games. Peter Nelson placed 2nd in the Open Section.
Chris Kirschner won all his games in the Dan Handicapped Section, winning that section. Ben Hakala placed 2nd. Jung Doo Nam won the Single Digit Kyu Player Handicapped Section, with David Snow placing second. Mark Richardson won the Double Digit Kyu Player Handicapped Section, with Lucy Wang placing second.
The next ratings tournament is Sunday, November 1. The next big tournament is the Jen Chen Memorial, on Sunday, January 3, 2016.
Cheers,
Brian
