Ashland XXXI heads into the Final Round!

Fourteen players battled in the Penultimate Round of Ashland XXXI.

Randall Gingerich (1525) brought Ben Caiello's (2032) unbeaten streak to an end scoring the upset on Board 1. Looks like Ben's last loss was at the Columbia Open in August! Dan Quigley (1807) settled peacefully with Lendel Robinson (1756) and Paul Potylicki (1494) won over Chris Labrecque (1667).

In the Amateur Section, Max Witherell (1280) took the point from Birney Blind (1242) to stay at the top of the crosstable with Andrew Manion (1326) who survived against Christian Dunlap (1047). Jerry Davis (UNR) broke into the win column with an upset over Ralph Buske (1430) and Mike Mayfield (1367) won over Jordan Anderson (1245).

Next week, Thursday, Jan 31, is the Final Round of Ashland XXXI.
