Final Results

Virginia Chess Federation
VA Senior Open 2017

BRIEF REVIEW: Below are the results from the VA Senior Open tournament held in 2017. The venue was the same as in recent years and the format was 5 rounds over 3 days each at a G/120, d5 time control. And a Blitz tournament (G/3 +2) was also held. Results for both are posted below:

The winner of the VA Senior Open also wins a free entry into the 2nd annual National Senior Tournament of Champions as Virginia's representative. The National Senior tournament is a USCF invitational for the senior champions from each state. This tournament is a 6 round event held just prior to and in the same venue as the US Open chess tournament. This year that venue is in Middleton, WI from July 28-31.

William Marcelino (right) won the VA Senior Open for 2017 and will represent VA in the 2019 National tournament. Congrats (!) and "best-of-luck" to Willie in representing the Ol' Dominion in Wisconsin!
