Congratulations to Colin Denniston, Dutchess County Chess Champion!

Colin is most likely the youngest champion in club history, and he earned his victory by beating 2014 champion (and club president) Chris Brooks in the final round to take the crown. An impressive performance from the young man.

Trophy winners (final score):

First Place                  Colin Denniston (4.5)
Second Place             Chris Brooks (4.0)
Under 1900                Michael Mendez (3.5)
Under 1600                 Tom Marvullo (2.0)

DCC is always tough, but this year featured 5 players with a pre-tournament rating of 2000 or higher – making Colin’s achievement (and those of the other trophy winners) even more impressive.

Trophies will be presented some time in April. See below for final standings, and Click Here for the USCF crosstable.
