Andrew Green Wins March OCG OPEN

Date: 03/18/06


The March OCG OPEN was held this past Saturday, March 18th. Twenty players played in the tournament. Congratulations to Andrew Green (1775) who won the tournament with a score of 3.5 points. Coming into the last round Andrew was trailing Lucas van Beuzekom (1762) by a score of 2.5 points to 3 points. The two met on board one in the final round, and Andrew was able to win. Lucas' 3 points were good enough for him to share third and fourth place with Dalton Perrine (1767) and Hengyi Wu (1705).

Sarah Errafay (1232) won the U-1600 prize for the second straight month with the score of 2.5 points. Congratulations to Tyler Rhodes (866), who finished with a score of 2.5 points to win the U-1400 prize. The U-1200 prize was split by Bill Lawder (941) and Luis Ortiz (733) who both finished with 2 points.

On an interesting footnote: although he did not win any prize money, Roger Pagel (1632), from Missouri, did not lose a single game. Roger finished with 2.5 points (1 win and 3 draws). This included draws against the two highest rated players in the tournament, Dalton Perrine, and eventual tournament winner Andrew Green. Not a bad performance!

We  hope you will join us for the next OCG OPEN on Saturday, April 15th.
