Thanks again to everyone who played and participated! We look forward to seeing everyone again at our next tourney at the end of June!!

I would also like to extend my thanks to all of the players who were kind enough to allow me (without complaint!) to snap photos and flash them to tears at the beginning of each round. Hopefully it was worth it! By the way, for those of you out there wondering about the correct protocol for taking photos during chess tournaments, the general consensus seems to be that it is okay within the first 5-10 minutes (depending on time controls), but after that, put the camera away. Caissa can be a difficult taskmaster!
