NBCC Reserves #1 -- Rd 3 results (Updated)

9:49 AM
Update - The game was declared a forfeit loss for Leonid Stolov by Bob.
The Round 4 pairings and standings are at the botto.
-- Randy

There's still one game not played for Round 3 (it's marked in red below). Leonid and/or Alan, can you let me know when that's going to be made up (hopefully before Monday so I can pair normally)?

Due to lack of contact and being two games behind, I've been instructed to forfeit Angel Garcia in rounds 2 and 3, and to not pair him for the rest of the tournament..

Western Connecticut Open Results

10:03 PM
A report from Ed Scimia :

Eighteen players attended the Western Connecticut Open, hosted by the Bethel Chess Club. After four rounds of fierce competition, Alex Eydelman and Hanon Russell emerged as co-winners, each scoring 3.5 points. Both won $153 for their efforts. David Herscovici finished 3rd, with 3 points. The tournament was directed by Ed Scimia and Randy Shane.
With 2.5 points, Nikita Lakomkin emerged as the top finished under 1600, and took home a $75 prize. The complete crosstable can be found here: http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?200902082311-12623151
I'd like to thank everyone for attending! We plan on hosting more events in the same location soon. I hope everyone had a great time, and will come back for our next tournament!
