The Alina Markowski Open  Round 3 of 7  1/19/11  7 PM

Players so far: 95, not including house players Antonio Gonzalez, Phil Skiba, Donald Klaas and Harry LaSalle. Joining us in round 3 were: George Zeigler, Marty Lower and Michael Blandin. We still need 5 more players to get to 100!! Here are some players that might still join us, please give them a nudge if you can: Albert Dumaran, Steve Perry, Jason Qu, Joe Rieker, Pejman Sagart, Gary Tuttle, Keith Wetterer.   

The time control for this event is our standard 40/90, SD/60 with 5 second delay. To register for this event, or to request a bye, please email Chuck Ensey at chucnglo@aol.com by 4 PM on Wednesday (and make sure I reply - if I don't then call the club), or call the club telephone at 619-239-7166 by 6:30 PM. 

There were 16 players with two wins after two rounds, but then it got tougher for them as they faced much stronger opponents. 3 of the top 8 boards drew, and only two of the higher rated players won (Bruce and Dimitry). Ratings apparently don't mean squat in this event! Now there are only 5 players with 3 wins. Also quite a few lower rated players on the lower boards were able to draw and some even won.
