The bitter cold spell gripping North Carolina gave way to some sizzling chess this month! Thirty-two of our state's finest players refused to hibernate, and instead braved the cold for a day of friendly competition Asheboro-Style. Total cash prizes awarded were $690.00, for an over 86% payout. For more info and photos including a list of winners, click the link above. See the crosstable by CLICKING HERE.
Once again we owe a debt of gratitude to NCCA Vice President Dr. Walter High. He filled every seat in his huge honking SUV for a grand total of eight players, most of whom would not have gotten to play otherwise. Special thanks also to Asheboro's own Mark Stout, who served as an Assistant Director. Last, but not least, we want to welcome our new USCF members: Carlton Reid and Mary Ann Reid of Statesville, and Sebastian Fengler of Chapel Hill. We were glad to see you enjoy your first rated event!
