NJ Players Excel at U.S. Open

Appropriately, the United States Open chess tournament in Cherry Hill was won on tie-break by New Jersey resident GM Boris Gulko with 7 1/2 points.

Other NJ players had plus results as well, including international masters Mikhail Zlotnikov and Dean Ippolito with 7 points.

Chess blogger Atomic Patzer, who lives in New Jersey, tied for first in the Class D section.
