March Aquinas: Winners are Wickering, Tyrell, Joshua Posthuma
Report by Eugene Brumley, CPA, TD
The story of the tournament is Allen Wickering. He beat Fischvogt, which is never easy, and forced a draw against Czuhai in a winning position. In the last round he agreed to an early draw with Bill Eckert, leaving it up to Eric who had to win to share first place with Allen. Allen is now a Class A player, having gained over 100 points in just two tournaments this year.
