July Calvin: Ratko!
Grand Rapids expert Ratko Bojanovic won the Calvin tournament on Saturday.
Clara McGrew swept the 2nd quad. The third quad saw a 3 way tie for first with Caleb Bowman, Antowine Jordan, and Andrew Schremser. Schremser's nicely played "Greek Gift" sacrifice against Bowman's French is featured in our games section.
Seth Strout, picking up where he left off after winning the under 1100 section at the Bottom Half, won the scholastic. Leah Ziegler was clear 2nd.
