Report

"The 1998 Bluenose Chess Club Championship was won by Justin Gulati of PEI. Damir Miletic of Sydney was second. Special mention should made for cadet Tyler Reddy who made it to Board 1 a couple of times, serving notice for future results.

In the U1800 section Lewis Brown cruised to 4-0 before a last round draw to claim clear first. While in the U1600 Brian McGrath and first time player Robert Croxen shared first with 4/5.

Many thanks to all involved in the organizing and running of this annual event (now well into its third decade). Thanks also to Tim Horton's for providing sustinence."

Thanks,
