December Swiss

Christmas came early in Lansing as 30 chess players gathered at
the December Swiss to share their love of the game. Congratulations
to Ratko and Safal on winning what was the strongest Top Section I
have ever directed!   And to Kevin Jackson Sr. for taking first in the
Bottom Section. Finally, John Brauker in the Third Section had the
only perfect score of the day!

Very strong lineup!
Congrats to winners!
And some guys have gone over 2100.
I guess I have been playing 2100+ players when their ratings were about 2000. :-)

Don't forget to congratulate yourself, Tony!

@Ali, Maybe your the reason those 2100 players were only 2000 when they were playing you:)
@Seth, Thanks for thinking about me:)
