Thanks to everyone who came out to the 2017 Summer Open (July 8-9). Ryne Swift won with a score of 3.5 out of 4. Tied for second with 3 points were Clifford Goodman and Joshua Gerona. Clifford Goodman was 1st U1700 with Diana Furda in 2nd place. Aalekh Patel was 1st U1400 and 2nd place was split between Kristaps Balodis, Darren Flynn and Yanyu Lei. We had 14 registered players and several others who game to hang out and play blitz. Four new players joined the tournament and will soon have CFC ratings.

2017 Winnipeg Open (Joe Dreman Memorial) Round 4 results
Theo Wolchock writes at https://www.facebook.com/groups/rockerchess/:
“The 2017 Winnipeg Open/ Joe Dreman Memorial saw huge action in the first 4 rounds, and is now past the half way point. Leading the tournament is 2nd seed Isaac Wiebe, who shares first place with Tony Boron and highly unexpected Brock Beach, all with 3.5/4. Second place is shared amongst 4 players with 3/4, Teodulfo II Nones, Theo Wolchock, Jay S. Khedkar, and Colin Prince. The 34 player field still has 4 rounds yet to go, and not one player has a perfect score! What will happen next?”
