1998 NOVA SCOTIA OPEN
1998 NOVA SCOTIA OPEN
The 1998 Nova Scotia Open is now history! Glenn Charlton won the
tournament in convincing fashion winning all his games after a first
round bye and finishing a full point and half in front of a log jam in
second to sixth place. Glenn achieved a chess master rating
as a result of this fine finish!

In the under 1900 section which included under 1400 players due to insufficient numbers, Steve Karis of New Glasgow won in convincing fashion as well - winning all his games - after taking a first round bye. Jean-Pierre Sencal of Montreal (!) took second in the under 1900! Lloyd Lombard of Middleton won the under 1400 prize with a fine score of 4 out 5! Watch out, Blockhouse NS may soon have a new top chess player! 12-year-old Curtis Robarts in Grade 7 not only won the youth tournament but also tied for second for the under 1400 prize! He seems the handle the black side of the Closed Sicilian quite well . . .
