#315 Kernighan Wins Kenilworth Blitz

NM Mark Kernighan won last night's blitz tournament in Kenilworth. Greg Tomkovich finished 2nd. Don Carrelli was 3rd.

Here are the complete standings :
  • 1. Kernighan 6.0
  • 2. Tomkovich 5.0
  • 3. Carrelli 4.0
  • 4-5. Ari Minkov & Joe Demetrick 3.5
  • 6-8. John Moldovan, Max Sherer & Bert Shiffman 3.0
  • 9-10. Ian Mangion & Mike Wojcio 2.5
  • 11-12. Ted Mann & Joe Renna 2.0
  • 13-14. Pat Mazzillo & Jonathan Sherer 1.0

Thanks to Mike Wojcio's generosity, the advertised fees and planned cash prizes were scrapped in favor of free entry and book prizes (for all) from the late Irving Ellner's collection!

Having played in both the Ellner Memorial & the blitz event, I was able to add Players Chess News Annuals 1 & 2 to the 3,4,5 & 6 that I already owned!!
