The Hauptturnier

The Hauptturnier runs concurrent to the Championship for members who do not qualify for Championship but wish to participate in a round robin tournament under the same time controls, rules, etc. This year there are 11 players participating:

Carey Theil (2005)
Robert Sullivan (1933)
Bob Fuhro (1917)
Natasha Christiansen (1906)
Bryant Vernon (1876)
Bernardo Iglesias (1738)
Jon Lee (1672)
Ed Foye (1596)
Ted Gorczyca (1542)
Bob Oresick (1540)
Greg Hager (1170)

The tournament will be 11 rounds with each participant receiving one bye.

While I'm not planning to cover the "Haup" in this weblog (I need to sleep occasionally!?), I may note some newsworthy items from time to time. The first of these was a major upset in the first round -- Bob Oresick defeated Carey Theil. Congratulations Bob!
