2019 brought a new tradition by combining two pre-existing Ohio
checker tournaments. We hope more players can join us for next year's
3-move event. Tournament was 8 rounds of Swiss at 3-Move, and Masters
used clocks and recorded games.
Congratulations to Alex Moiseyev, who has won this state title every
year beginning in 2003 (and also won this tournament three additional
times prior as a PA resident).
$520 in prizes were awarded. Special thanks to Joe LoConti ($500
donation), and to host Crist Miller and company who arranged a wall
clock prize and great food for the players. Alex Moiseyev also donated
a book prize. Joe LoConti, LaVerne Wray, and Lloyd Auker were among
the visitors to the tourney. Submitted by Rich
