The results are in after stage 3 of the Grand Prix Series Challenge. Stage 3 was a 2-day swiss-style tournament at Union United Methodist. The top of the leader board looks the same for divisions 2 & 3, although several other players have entered the series and moved into the middle slots - particularly in division 2 where Michael Pergeorelis has moved into second place behind Yury. In division 1, there is now a sole leader - Philip Saponaro has pulled out to a 1/2 point lead over Long Xu and a full point over Mark Byerly and Terence Coffee. Phil and Mark had a hard-fought head-to-head battle at this last event that resulted in this standings change. See the full tournament wall chart here. The next event is May 17 at the Bear Library - be sure to enter to earn points and overtake the leaders!
