RESULTS OF WARMUP SWISS
Congratulations to Michael Gilligan for winning the warmup swiss with a perfect score of 4-0. Time off from chess apparently agreed with him.

Thanks to Paul and Soren for playing as house players. This event has been rated by USCF: https://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?202406116542.0-12349620
