BU Open 2008

We hope you enjoyed playing in the 14th BU Open.

This year we had 77 players, including 13 titled players. [ Last year in 2007 we had around 80; and in 2006, 102 (our largest turnout) with 13 titled players, matched again this year. ]

Thanks to Bernardo Iglesias for directing and to the Boylston Chess Foundation under whose affliate status we staged the tournament.

.

Congratulations to all the winners [ see below ] and thank you all for playing and supporting the BU Chess Club's trip to the Amateur Team East.
