We are all winners as our first Mississauga Open attendance exceeded all expectations at 110 players. Thanks to everyone who participated.
We are especially pleased to see that our Mississauga Junior club (started 6 years ago) was so well represented. Tournament champion Razvan Preotu was a Mississauga Junior club member in its early years. He outgrew our junior club years ago, but we do follow his progress with pride. We look forward to the day when we can call him our first GM alumni.
No pressure Razvan!
Several other junior club alumni did battle in the U2000 section but were unable to reach the winners podium. However, in the U1600 section, the winners’ podium was crowded with junior alumni Frank Wang, Andrei Korcsak, and Shesan Balachandran.
