Las Vegas Chess Festival - final results

Kevin and Abhishek with the big payday at the National Open (well, not really)

well another long weekend over.  To some extent most of the top kids across the country who played in this tournament found out that being at the top of a section doesn't necessarily translate into big money.  But a good tournament nonetheless for a couple of our team members.

U1800 - Kevin Moy 4.5 - won $128
U1600 - Abhishek Handigol 4.0 - won $67, and won one of the brillancy prizes.
