Summer Open
by Selby Anderson
Forty players turned out for the Summer Open, held Aug. 4-5 at TNI. I had a lucky win in the last round against FM Dennis Rylander (2360), a former UTD student from Sweden now living in Austin. After being thoroughly outplayed, I mixed things up with five moves left to time control. After mutual blunders, he flagged as he pushed the clock for his 30th move. That put me in clear first with 3.5 out of 4, having drawn Ju Ahn (1812) in Round 2. Four players tied with 3, including Rylander, Don Sutherland, Gregg Stanley and J.P. Hyltin. Stanley had a chance to catch up with me if he had converted his extra pawn against Hyltin in their last round game, but Hyltin turned out to have ample counterplay with a superior N vs. B and better pawn structure. Kevin Lu and Steven Chen shared the U2000 prize with 2.5.
In the Reserve, three players scored 3.5 to tie for first, second and under-1600 prizes: Andrew Nathanael Lozano, Samuel McLemore and Zhaosu Ye. Joanna Slusarewicz was top U1400 with 2.5. Lloyd Lyssyj won the unrated prize with 2.
Eighty-five percent of advertised prizes were paid out. Martin Gordon directed for the San Antonio Chess Club.
