Steve Elkins Wins 2020 Fayetteville ChampionshipThanks to all (11 in Open and 8 in Scholastic) who participated in our annual club championship this year last Saturday. Was the perfect number to pay all expenses--USCF Affiliation fee, room cost, and the trophies. The Open section was "player with white pieces" Day. In the following games the player with white won: Rd. 2--Bii Orton (1.0) beat Les Kline (1.0), Rd. 3--Miles Bowlin (2.0) beat Orton (2.0), and Rd. 4--Steve Elkins (3,0) beat Bowlin (3.0) for perfect score of 4.0 and winner of Open Trophy. Congrats to Steve (reg. rating 1583); just too bad wasn't a rated tournament? In the Scholastic section Zach Muench (2.0, rating 717) defeated Vrishank (2.0, rating 917) for only perfect score (3.0). Zach also had white in that round! Congrats to Zach. - Les Kline, TD. Bill Orton Wins State Championship 2017Three-peat!
