Fun was had by all. Congratulations to Soren and Eric for winning their competitive sections. (dcm: Each winner received a one year membership to Rochester Chess as their prize. The tournament has been rated by USCF: https://ratings.uschess.org/event/202601130243).

I think I’ll run something similar (Swiss or Quads) in February so look out for the sign up. Matt

Let me know if there are any changes I should be aware of.
