February Quad Results
In a mixed bag Beta section,
For
KEVIN KOENIG won the Theta section with an undefeated 2.5 score, and DONALD J REYES had second all to himself at 2. The Iota section saw two newcomers split the prize money. We hope to see RAFEH QAZI and GERALD K CRANE at future events. We regret that our two highest rated players, master ALEKSANDAR STAMNOV and expert ROBERT LONCAREVIC arrived just too late to partake in a full quad, but we were happy to extend a free house game to them against each other. Loncaravic achieved an upset win in the rated game, but we do not know how the other games in their match fared. Their late arrival demonstrates another benefit to preregistering. Even if we don't have to turn away an overflow crowd. preregistrants are guaranteed a seat and a running clock in the first round, even if they arrive late..
