Ken Horne Memorial

September 7-8, 2002

A great entry of 45 players participated in this annual event. Unique was a new way of prize distribution, based on lumping groups of players rather than the traditional class prizes. Unfortunately, at press time, the reporter does not have the cross-table, and so he relies on memory. Emory Tate easily won the event with a clean score of 5 points. A contingent of players from Utah took home lots of Prizes, including B. J. Young, David Vasquez and the Chen family. Brad Zentmyer, Francisco Vela, Gordon Barrett, Bill Parker were among local players who won prizes. If there had been a brilliancy prize, Francisco Vela destroyed Frank Gray position and sent his king on a long walk in the 4th round. Norm Harvey directed the event.
