Congratulatins
Stephen Solomon
Once again winner of the Day of Knights.

It was a hot field with six players over 2000. Some tough chess was played with young Gene Nakauchi taking half a point off Stephen and finishing second.

It was also great to see some international visitors play in the tournament FM Franz Riemelmoser and his family I had great games agaist his sons Stephan Riemelmoser 2103 whom I almost had an upset with before imploding :) and his brother Markus Riemelmoser 1763 that I had a draw with.
