Mark's Report

I had the pleasure of hosting the "To the Strongest" theme tournament. 18 players participated! Definitely a better turnout than I expected. Here are the results for the "To the Strongest" theme. I guess it was appropriate that in the final round the Greeks (Joe Collins) and the Persians (Jason Boswick) were fighting it out for control of the empire. Congratulations to Joe Collins!

2. David Schlanger - Maccabean Jewish - 73 pts
