Fellow Waltham Chess Club players,
Thank you all who played in our Waltham Chess Club Championship and Summer Open this past May and June. Because of my buying a new computer, there was some delay in getting these Final Standings out, but here they are at last.
Both tournaments were much closer and far more suspenseful than those in previous years. Additionally, all the games got finished this year in the Championship, and for that reason we were able this year to offer a Second Prize as well as First Prize for the first time. We will make that official for next year.
Congratulations to Steve Winer, our returning Club Champion, and to Carissa Yip and Lawyer Times, who tied in Second Place. Congratulations also to Andrew Luff who held off all comers – and there were some tough ones! – to win the Summer Open.
I hope to see some of you for pizza this Friday night and then for the Blitz Championship later this month. Have a great July 4th!
Nicholas P. Sterling, Ph.D.
