Round 1 went well for the Bapst contingent overall with wins from Aaron Spencer, Kurt Eyerer, Daniel Honeycutt, and Omar Khan while Margaret Bryan and Zach Smith lost to higher rated opponents and Deanna Power lost in the Unrated section. But the game of the day belonged to Anna Bryan as she played for four hours and earned a draw over one of the higher rated players in her section. Playing on minimal sleep after arriving at her hotel room at 4:00AM, she battled tooth and nail to the very end to a stalemate. From the length of the ballroom (spectators were not allowed) we saw her opponent crumple in disgust as the last piece was captured to reduce the board to just kings.
There were some other Maine results, but it would be best to go to the results page www.supernationalsiv.com and hit Pairings and Standings to get the latest.
