Great news from Albany – one of our regulars, Bob Simmons, has just shared the news that he shared first place in the Under 2000 section of the Empire State Open!

You can see the standings here: https://chessevents.com/event/empirecity/2021/standings/u2000

I don’t have a full list of all Vassar participants, but I did notice Ernie Johnson and Peter Barkman played in the Open section: https://chessevents.com/event/empirecity/2021/standings/open

Nice to see OTB chess still going strong, and great to see Vassar folk making their mark. Congrats again to Bob!
