The tournament ran very
well. All the events were started on time and we finished each day at
about 5:00pm. As in most of
our tournaments the higher rated events were held on Saturday. From the
comments we received, it seemed that the players and the spectators really
enjoyed the tournament.
We like to again express
our thanks to Polytechnic Institute of Technology which is now part of NYU
and especially thank Professor Haldun Hadimioglu, Professor Ming
Leung,
Polytechnic Alum Felix Filizov for their invaluable help in making
this tournament a success.
