Division 1: 1st : Philip Saponaro 2nd: Terence Coffee 3rd: Brad Thomas
Division 2: 1st : Yury Markushin 2nd : Michael Pergeorelis 3rd : Dean D’Souza
Division 3: 1st: Victor Rein 2nd: Adam Wheatley 3rd: Ann Marie Fitch
The trophy presentation will take place on July 19 at the DCA Blitz Championship at Bear Library. (Announcement is on www.uschess.org).
Also, 3 players attended all 5 series events and they win a scorebook. Good job for perfect attendance to Philip Saponaro, Mark Byerly, and Yury Markushin.
Thanks go out to Rick Lathem, who helped to conceive the idea, and Michelle Pergeorelis who provided computer support. And thanks to Dean Miller who had one of his 2nd Saturday Milford quads in the series.
Thank you to everyone who attended the series, no matter how many events you played. In my opinion, this has been a big success!
If anyone has any comments/suggestions , feel free to tell or write me.
