In the 15 player Open Section GM Alexlander Ivanov and Vigorito settled on a quick draw, but Ivanov could only draw expert Alan Price with White. Vigorito beat LM Cherniack with Black from a dubious position to win the tournament.
After all, it was the Harry Lyman Memorial, and they share the same birthday, so he may be getting some inspiration from the great chess beyond...
In the U1800 Section (14) Sean Ingham won clear first with 3.5 points. Robert J. King, Bernardo Iglesias, and Jerry Williams all finished with 3.0.
Bernardo also was TD and guarantor of the prize fund.
Previous Lyman Memorial winners have been as follows:
2009 (29 players): IM Dave Vigorito
2008 (16 players): IM Dave Vigorito
2007 (22 players): NM Avraam Pismennyy
2006 (32 players): IM Dave Vigorito and FM Paul MacIntyre
2005 (23 players): FM Charles Riordan and NM Eric Godin
Harry Lyman was the dean of New England chess and the soul of the Boylston Chess Club.
Don't miss his memorial tournament on Saturday with a $400 prize fund (b/30).
