The 3rd Hamilton Summer Open was a big success. A big thank you to all that participated. A total of 65 players this year, up from 37 last summer. We added a junior section this year which attracted 23 budding GM's.

Winners were:

Open
1st - Artiom Samsonkin 5/5 $ 438
2nd-3rd - Doug Bailey, Michael Dougherty, John Upper 3.5/5 $ 140 each

Under 1900
1st-2nd - Jaime Solis, Joe Bellomo 4/5 $ 222 each
3rd - Ferdinand Supsup, Doug Gillis 3.5/5 $ 60 each

Juniors

There were some exciting playoffs for the trophies. I will need to get the details from Garvin.

Congratulations to all the winners. Total cash prize fund = $ 1,422

The complete tournament report will be on the Hamilton and SWOCL sites in a few days. We have some pictures and a few selected games to add.

A big thanks to TD Garvin Nunes who did most of the heavy lifting and missed the post tournament festivities at the Mandarin due to exhaustion. And thanks to the cleanup crew.

If you have an interesting game you would like included, please email it to me (in chessbase file if possible) at robertgillanders@rogers.com
