2019 Marchand Open

A few current and past club members ventured up to Rochester this St. Patty’s weekend to participate in this year’s Marchand Open. FM Bobby Sulman finished up with 4.0/5, which was good enough to tie for 3rd with five others, including GM Shabalov and current DCC top rated NM Matan Prilleltensky. Mat also played to a tidy middlegame draw with former DCC champ Chris Brooks in round 3, who tied for the 1st u2200 prize with two others with 3.5/5. Congrats to all who played, and good chess!
