Roger Morin went home with the $60 first prize in the Open Section of the Aurora Winter Solstice while five competitors split the $36 second place prize. In the Under 1000 Section John Xiang scored 3.5 points to win clear first, while Haley Deluca Lowell, Dan Fishbein, and Deanna Power came in second with three points. The Under 600 Section saw Ian Youth score a perfect 4.0 in his first ever USCF rated tournament. The U1400 section was combined with the Open and John Ellison finished ahead of Anna Bryan by a 1/2 point for that top prize.
37 players showed up at the Airline School for a fun day of chess. Dan Deluca will have plenty of pictures and a more detailed report on chessmaine.net
It was especially nice to see so many familiar faces return. The contingent from the Cape Elizabeth area was 11 strong, while 13 members of the Airline School came an extra day to school this week to sharpen their chess skills against some of the best scholastic players around. I was very excited to see so many students come.
A special thank you goes to all those that helped with the food and kitchen duties.
