Coventry's Mill Brook Place hosted the 2020 Greater Hartford Open on Jan 18.
Jordan Groff finished as clear winner, with 3-0 score, winning $160.
A 5-way tie for 2nd place (2-1 scores); Abe Mondal, Lisa Smith,
Kevin Corteville, Nitish Heston, and Brandon Ahl. Each won $16.
Lisa Smith donated her prize towards free snacks we provide to players.
We thank Jordan; he arrived early and set up all the tables and chairs.
Jordan plays at his father's chess club in Hamden. "Play More Chess"
Thanks to everyone for helping put away the tables and chairs, and for
helping to carry club equipment back and forth to my car.
The tournament attracted 12 players, six of which are new to the USCF.
Organizer and tournament director Rob Roy fills in as houseman so no player
sits out a round due to no opponent availlable.
Ice-cold waters, cookies, chips, dip, baby carrots, Chex Mix, orange juice,
bananas, oranges, apples. This same snack menu will be at our next
tournament, Feb 22, the 2020 EASTERN CONNECTICUT OPEN.

LIST OF CHESS CLUBS IN CONNECTICUT
I sort of feel sorry for the local masters; the most fun they can have is playing the other masters, and there aren’t a lot chess masters around to play, even at the nearby tournaments. Every once in a while one of them will show up at a local chess club to see if there are any other strong players there. Last time at the Lilly Library Club, this apparently out of practice master only beat me two out of three. This time the club player didn’t even suspect he was playing a master, maybe that’s why he put up a good fight.
