Congratulations to Alex Moiseyev, who retains the state title, and also to Alan Millhone for winning he division.  All players played as one group of Swiss using 3-move, and our standard Ohio State 7 round tournament format.  Prize fund was $610 and awarded to top 8 places, with most of the donations from Joe LoConti, as: Contributions were received from Joe LoConti ($450), Rich Beckwith ($12.50),  John Acker ($17.50 donated from an older tournament prize),  Alan Millhone ($10).  Steve Holliday also donated some checker books to out-of-state players.  B-Rate stands for player's rating before this tournament and A-Rate stands for player's rating after this performance has been re-calculated for a new rating.  Alan took a few pictures during awards which I have posted below under Photos.
