Nate Bryans was the clear winner over an impressive field in the John Bapst G/35 tournament March 27. Bryans defeated Roger Peterson when Peterson's flag fell in a tight first round game. He then took advantage of a Zening Chen blunder in round 2 before defeating Aaron Spencer for top honors in the last round. It was an even tournament as the final standings pointed out: Bryans 3.0, Spencer 2.0, Chen 1.5, Ed Nevells 1.5, Peterson 1.5, Yuri Riabkov 1.0, Jiawei Zou 1.0, and Margaret Bryan 0.5. The average rating of the group was well over 1500, an excellent turnout for the area.
In the second quad Andrew Bryan was 2.0 in the two games he played which tied him with John Paul Kenneway who won two of three games. Daniel Honeycutt (1.0), Jessica Chen (1.0), and Anna Bryan who went winless in one house game rounded out the field.
The tournament was directed by Laddy Deluca Lowell in her first event as chief TD. Everything went smoothly; congratulations Laddy!
Proceeds from this tournament went to the John Bapst trip to Nationals. A special thanks goes out to those who donated toward the trip. It was a hotly contested evening and very enjoyable!
