Second place went to Gary Phillips who finished the event with a 13/16 score.
Third place went to Mark Keirstead with a 12/16 score. Mark used to play competitive chess in the Maritimes about 20 years ago and decided to return last night to give the game another try. His result showed that he could still play at a very high level.
