Congratulations to Andrew Flores, David Langlois (shared 1st),
Arthur Glassman (shared 1st), 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!!!
