Winston-Salem Scholastic Chess Association Winter V Results

The Winston-Salem Scholastic Chess Association hosted a scholastic tournament just across town on February 3, 2007, when we hosted our Winter Swiss 1. They drew in nearly 50 chess players! To see the results of their tremendously successful tournament, click here.

Soon I will post the tournament pictures and an accounting of the tournament funds. I also hope to post one game each from our co-champs, as they played some interesting games.
