And that is a wrap! thank you to all who participated in the Alberta Reserves/championships!

Reserves: Congratulations to Yash Darvekar for winning clear first place and taking home $270 in prize money! Maybe next year he will play the closed!

Championship: After a lot of hard fought games, with triumph and tragedy, as well as many minutes of arguing over tiebreaker procedures, Tymur Keleberda emerges victorious, as he had a better Koya Tiebreaker than Amir. Additionally, congrats to Amir on a well played tournament, and Sherzod for a very respectable 3rd place finish! Full standings and results can be viewed in the photos:
