The economy must be getting bad for chess players of my caliber.  There were only 4 players in my challenger section and I brought one of them.  The other two came from one family, the Patterson's.  We played a round robin between us as Kevin and Katie were both sick and wanted to get home soon.  That was more than ok as I have so much work to complete to get ready for a new trimester.  We finished our three game tournament in one day.

We had fun, however.  I beat Kevin and Katie, but just could not muster a fight against one of my students, Andrew Uriarte.  Andrew won our section and next year has a birth into the Championship section.  I won second place.
