Gold Medal winners at the Borden Park Outdoor Chess and Family Picnic on Sunday, July 18, were: Derek
Thomas, Allan Stanislus, Merhshad Sahebsara, Tosin Kuye and Patrick Cervantes. See complete results. Despite forecasts
of possible showers, the weather was beautiful and soccer, bocci ball and other games were played after the chess, and the
event ended up with an energetic water fight for those who did not first flee. About 75 to 80 players, parents, grandparents
and siblings enjoyed the barbecue sponsored by The Roving ChessNuts and a variety of food was brought by the parents. Thanks
to Colin Broughton and Rob McCullough for helping to officiate and to all the parents who helped with the food and clean-up.
> The
July 15 Pizza Tournament was won by Alex Broughton who lost only one game while Andrew Keates took the silver medal and John
Cervantes captured bronze. Thank you to all players who participated in the two July pizza tournaments. Congratulations
to Ryan Nowakowsky for being the top player at the Roving ChessNuts Chess Camp which wrapped up on Friday. Kaixin Wang and Alex
