Roger Morin not only organized the tournament but prevailed in the final round against upstart Margaret Bryan to complete a perfect 4.0 score and win a clear first at the East Millinocket Municipal Building on Saturday. There was a good turnout of fourteen for the first event ever held in the area. Players came up from central Maine and down from The County to provide a very competitive field. There will be an illustrated report on chessmaine.net early next week.
Miscellaneous notes: Margaret competed in a road race in the morning in Hermon winning the female division before heading 70 miles north for three rounds of chess....Steven Abrahams made his Maine chess debut. He remembered Margaret from her trip to Chicago for the Polgar as he was representing New Hampshire in the Denker that year. He did an excellent job that year drawing four games against much higher rated opponents. Steve will be bringing his 1772 rating to more tournaments in the Bangor area this year since he's attending school nearby.
