Wow, look at all those players rated over 2000 in this year’s state championship – a strong turnout indeed. Congratulations to Martin Stengelin for winning the event with a score of 4.5/5! The top Delaware performers were Charlie Bouzoukis and Dave Gertler, both with a 4/5 score. These two gentlemen are the 2009 Delaware champions – way to go Charlie and Dave! Of course, this isn’t exactly new to either of them and we have added a new page to prove it. You can see a list of past champions if you click on over to this page. You might notice that Charlie and Dave appear on the list more than once, to say the least. It is good to see both players still going strong!
The Under 1800 section was won by a former state champion – Chase Butler – also with a 4.5/5 score. Congrats to Chase and all the players in both sections for making 2009 another great year of chess in Delaware!
