Please note: Since folks are using the preliminary pairings to decide whether or not to come to the club, the chief TD has decided to discontinue putting up preliminary pairings. Thank you all for coming, even if it appeared as if you'd get a bye....
Also: note that a loss does not mean that you're out of the tournament! In a Swiss System event, you normally get to play, regardless of your results (unless there's an odd-number of players).
Burt Carpenter went 3-0 to win the Open section, defeating a red-hot Alan Laverty (who blundered in a favorable position). Matthew Liu took clear second place with 2.5 out of three, and five players tied for third (Drew Sarkisian, Peter Kappler, William Molina, Alan Laverty, and Derek Chang) with 2 out of 3 points.
Bret Treadway and Arindam Raina shared first and second in the U1800 section with 2.5 out of 3.
Drew Sarkisian.
