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.

Winston-Salem Winter Swiss 1 Crosstable

To view the cross table to the Winston-Salem Winter Swiss 1, click here. I am really surprised about the quick posting of the tournament results, as I mailed via first class mail to the US Chess Federation the tournament results.

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.

Scott Baldwin and Matt Helfst Winston-Salem Winter Swiss Co-Champions

Eleven players participated in the Winston-Salem Winter Swiss on February 3. Scott Baldwin and Matt Helfst swept the field to win with 3/3 and split the generous $180 prize fund. Seven-time North Carolina Chess Champion David Steele stopped by to watch games and talk with the players! Crosstable and pictures coming soon.
