One Master and four Experts play in the 1st Annual Mike Anders Memorial Open in Elizabethtown!

Twenty-two players played in the tournament to honor Mike Anders!

Master Davis Whaley of Lexington, KY won the tournament with a score of 4-0! Michael Thomas and Stephen Dillard both scored 3-1 to share 2nd place. The Class B prize went to Jennifer Ishee, Louis DeFiore and Samuel Hunt who all scored 2.5-1-5! Dan Franklin and Michael Williams shared the Class C prize. The Class D and Under prize was spilt by Stuart Kernohan and Jacob Williams.

Jerry Weldin donated a leather chess wallet for the biggest upst prize which was won by Samuel Hunt for his victory over Expert Chris Bush! Way to go Sam!

I would also like to congratulate Davis Whaley for reaching 2300. This is a truly remarkable and difficult feat to obtain.
