Mainers excel at Continental Open, Fritz is 1.0 After Two

Lucas McCain and Matthew Fishbein continue to climb the ratings ladder with successful tournament showings in Sturbridge, MA at the Continental Open. Matthew is up to 1540 and Lucas is over 1900. Impressive! Other Mainers attended and there will be an illustrated report on ChessMaine.net soon.

Fritz Eyerer is all even after two rounds of the Denker and looks to go to 2.0 with black in the third round. Jonathan Hilton from the jolly state of Ohio has a good blog from the Denker on USChess.org. We met him two years ago at the same event and saw him in action this spring at the National High School Championships in Atlanta. He does an excellent job capturing the atmosphere at the events and is a great ambassador for the game.
