The 2010 Rondy was hard fought with six entrants in the Youth Section, and twenty in the Old People Section.

The Youth Section was effectively a round robin with John and Hannah Warren drawing their game and defeating all others. They tied for first with 4.5 out of 5.

The Old People Section had 20 entrants with many taking advantage of the available bye. Mike Stabenow won clear first with 4.5 out of 5, drawing with Matt Parshall. Ben Hoback finished in clear second with 4 out of 5, his only setback was against Jim Hanlen. Jim and Matt tied for third with 3.5 out of 5. Jim defeated Ben, Ben defeated Matt, and Matt defeated Jim.

The top Under prize (bottom half of entrants) was split three ways between Jerod Redwine, Bret Kugler, and Richard Koch. Bret Kugler is also the top Air Force entrant and will represent us in the Air Force tournament.

The Upset prize went to Richard Koch with his fourth round victory, a rating difference of 241 points! Richard had an incredible tournament finishing with three out of five, all against higher rated opposition....

Thanks for coming everyone! The next tournament should be in April, I am currently targeting the second weekend.

Mike Stabenow

Until next time ...
