Three PHCC Amigos take some hides in the January Michigan Masters/Experts/Class Tournament in Lansing.  Alan Gregg takes three points and ties for best under 2100 at the MI Masters/Expert/Class Tournament held on January 14-15, 2012  Noel Bedy captures 4th place with 3.5 points in the Class D section at the MI Masters/Expert/Class Tournament held on January 14-15, 2012  Lon Rutkofske scores 2.5 points in the Class A section of the MI Masters/Expert/Class Tournament held on January 14-15, 2012 Noel Bedy, Alan Gregg, and Lon Rutkofske braving the treacherous Michigan roads to participate in this year’s Michigan Masters/Experts/Class Championships hosted at the Radisson in downtown Lansing the week of January 14th and 15th. Scoring 3.5, 3.0 and 2.5 respectively, this hearty trio managed to make other chess players in the state take notice as they did their fellow PHCC’ers proud. While Lon was pleased NOT to lose rating points, Alan proceeded to thump a pair of masters, and both he and Noel were in the hunt for “fortune and glory” until the bitter end. Noel drew his last round game with the eventual class D winner and Alan succumbed to 2011 MI Open Champion, Atulya Shetty in his final round game. Overall, a great outing for PHCC’ers!
