Results of Round 1 of the Markowski Tournament

Over eighty players registered in the first round making this one of the best attended chess events in recent years.  The possibility of reaching even ninety players by next week for round two will surpass the Markowski Tournament record set in 2004.

 

Five masters headed the list, the big upset came from board three when Master Carl Wagner was up-ended by house player Julie Desch-O'Neill who was visiting from Fort Worth, Texas.  Some of you will remember Julie as the former editor of Chess Life.  Still others amongst you will remember Julie as the San Diego Chargers cheerleader from the 1970's.

 

The small upset was Master David Hart being held to a draw by another house player Robert Belenzon.   Bob was a longtime member of the chess club from the 1970's and 1980's.
