Congratulations to Paul Nikitovich and Randy Canney for tying for first place in the 2003 Colorado Closed!

Our Champion, on S-B tiebreak is Paul Nikitovich!

Each scored 5-2, edging Brian Wall at 4.5-2.5

Finishing at a respectable .500 mark, 3.5-3.5 is Arthur Kaufman and Steve Towbin.
Our late substitute, Adam Weissbarth (filling in for weathered-in Jerry Kearns) scored 3-4, Jim Hamblin the only player to defeat Randy Canney finished at 2.5-4.5.
Eric Beckman landed at 1-6, including a draw against Paul Nikitovich - the players under .500 were also playing respectable chess!
My thanks to the players for their sportsmanship, both groups, in having a strong and entertaining tournament!
Full line scoring coming soon. - Andy Rea
