Our first time running a Fischer Random Chess event. A good turnout, and (in my opinion), a lot of fun! Eighteen players came out to play.
Al Balkum took clear first with 5.5/6 points, winning $35. Derek Chang and Matthew Liu tied for second with 4.5 points, worth $10 for each. Andrew Jacob won the U1800 prize, earning $20, while Scott Shive took the U1400 prize of $15.Thanks for playing!
