Hi,

Just a quick crosstable from the tournament at Proviso West High School held
today in Hillside, Illinois.  It is the longest running tournament in the
Chicagoland area that I am aware of.

1. Dave Rockwell    W5(2p)      W3      W2      3-0     1st
2. Tony Salvaggione W6(2p)      W8(6p)  L2      2-1     2nd
3. George Marino    W7(6p)      L1      L6(2p)  1-2     T5
4.Cristian Saenz    L8(4p)      L5      W7(4p)  1-2     7th
5. John Stryker     L1          W4      W8(4p)  2-1     3rd
6. Miguel Saenz L2          W7(4p)  W3      2-1     4th
7. Josh Sturnfield  L3          L6      L4      0-3     8th
8. Tim Rockwell     W4          L2      L5      1-2     T5

I wish I had kept a gamescore for the championship game. It featured Dave's
shikenbisha against my hidarimino.  Though neither of us have played much
recently, it was a very even and enjoyable game, but as usually happens
between us, Dave won.  His son Tim, all of 11 years old, won at his first
chance at a tournament game, and gave me more than I wanted in our six-piece
match.  John Stryker had, I believe, one of his strongest tournaments today.
Thanks as always to George Marino for hosting the tournament again.
