#205 Stoyko, Minkov, Demetrick lead Kenilworth G/30

FIDE-Master Steve Stoyko, 2-time defending champ Ari Minkov & KCC President Joe Demetrick are tied for first after 2 rounds of this year's USCF-rated Kenilworth G/30. NM Mark Kernighan & Greg Tomkovich are a half-point back.

Despite the rainy weather & no Tournament Life/blog announcement, 14 players entered the event! The 4-round swiss concludes next Thursday night.
