#851 Summer Tourney - Round 1

Despite the delayed opening, the start of the Kenilworth Summer Tournament attracted a decent-size crowd of 15 and saw a half-dozen games.

I tried an Old Indian, dropped a pawn on move 8 and lost to Greg Tomkovich. NM Mark Kernighan, Joe Renna and Bert Shiffman also won but Bert's result won't count unless the Open & U1200 sections are merged.

Late-joins are traditionally accepted through round 6 but, since we already have 18 players, the cut-off date may come a week or 2 earlier this year.

If anyone would like to schedule for a particular week just ask me.

1st round results, by board:

1. Joe Demetrick 0-1 Kernighan

2. Don Carrelli 1/2-1/2 Ian Mangion

3. Tomkovich 1-0 Moldovan

4. Renna 1-0 Ted Mann
5. Chris Constantino 1/2-1/2 Wayne Burnett
6. Joe Azzarello 0-1 Shiffman
