Volume 40, Number 1
Winter Springs
Open / 2012
by Richard “Buck” Buchanan
On December 1st and 2nd of 2012,
61 players arrived to do battle in Manitou
Springs. Thank you to all who played,
this was a wonderful turnout! With this
many people it was a little hectic but I
was most ably assisted by Dean Brown.
Thanks Dean I really appreciated the
help!
I want to congratulate the winners, Kevin
Kaaoush took the August section with a
perfect 4/4. Andre Patin, the July section,
with a result of 3.5/4. And Eric Montany
with a perfect 4/4 not only won the June
section but secured a Master title as well.
Congratulations Eric!
What follows are some of the games from
this tournament, with a little commentary
from myself.
