Results from the 1999 Southern Colorado Open

The 1999 Southern Colorado Open was held on June 12-13 at the Radisson Inn - North in Colorado Springs. A total of 67 players participated: 38 in the Open Section, and 29 in the Reserve (U1600/Unr) Section. Of the event's $1220 prize fund, $720 was awarded in the Open, and $500 was awarded in the Reserve. Player satisfaction was enhanced by the quiet, spacious, and well-lit tournament site.

In the Open Section, FM Renard Anderson scored 5.5 out of 6.0 to top a very strong field which included 11 players rated above 2000. Renard gave up his only half-point to 2nd place finisher Andy Rea (2097), whose outstanding 5.0 score featured a victory over SM Michael Mulyar. The Expert class prize was shared by Dan Avery (2073), Eric Billaux (2093), Leroy Hill (2096), and Philipp Ponomarev (2003), each with 4.0 points.
