Charlie's Winter Championship - Tournament Results

Congratulations to Andrew Flores, David Langlois (shared 1^st), Arthur Glassman (shared 1^st), and Robert Hampton for winning each of their respective sections.  I would also like to thank everyone who participated, especially those who haven’t played that much serious chess in the recent years and decided to give it a try this past weekend; namely Stephen Sandager, Dennis Dyer, and Ron London.  It was tremendous to see each of you there.  Also, I’m very appreciative for Ben Coraretti and David Langlois for making the trip from out of town, which I’m sure was difficult for a three day event.  A special thanks to Sam Dooley for filling in the last minute when a player from the top section dropped out a day before the tournament.  Talk about saving me from even more grey hair. One last resounding thank you to New Mexico’s two new stalwarts Peter Lattimore, Gregory Stricklin who seem to manage to participate in everything.  I find your passion for chess inspiring.  I hope all of you have a safe and happy holidays!!!

Turkey Time Quads - Results

Congratulations to Andrew Flores, Peter Cuneo (shared 1^st), Peter Lattimore (shared 1^st), Jonah Romero, Kristopher Franco, Willow Letard and Dawud Shakir for winning each of their respective sections.  I would also like to thank everyone who participated, especially to those of you who made the trip from out of town to play.  You each helped make this a successful event.  On a side note, I thought it was great to see so many family members participate in the tournament (the Nolans, Letards, Francos, and the Lapinas); also to see Dawud Shakir stick his toe in the water after a 16 year hiatus from chess.  I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
