Okie Chess Festival...The Results!!

The 3rd annual Okie Chess Festival was held over the Memorial Day weekend. The 2007 OCFest featured three 8-player round robins and a 48-player Open Swiss. Players from 13 states participated. The Open was directed by Frank K. Berry. Steve Wharry directed the round robins. The cross tables are below. Movsisyan and Chua (score 5.5/8) came away with top places in the 2007 Master Invitational. Smith (score 6.5/8) and Gossell (score 5/8) occupied first and second in the 2007 Challengers "A". Finally, Bob Holliman, a.k.a. Chessmaster Bob (score 6/8) secured the number one in the 2007 Challengers "B". Each of the above won qualification spots in next year’s round robins. The Open was won by IM Ron Burnett, who stayed after participating in the U.S. Championship. The Club Club was represented by NM Ronald Luther in the Master's section. Ken Fee (score 4/7) held his own in the Open: "losing to a 2420 IM is nothing to hang your head about, Kenneth!" I am told the other club members did well and will edit this post when that information is made available.
