Open — Ronald Gross of Compton captured the $150 top prize by scoring 5½ of a possible 6 points in the seventh annual San Bernardino Open Chess Tournament. Dr. Allen Hendy of San Bernardino reported the results. The 54-player tournament ended late Saturday night. Below first place, ties occurred for every other cash prize. Sven Almgren of Hollywood and Enos Wicher of Claremont tied for second place, winning $52.50 each. Time DeLaney of Rialto figured in a five-way tie for third place. Each player who earned 4½ points received $10. Steven Skrypzak of Redlands figured in a five-way tie for first in Class A, and Greg Harlick of Redlands tied for first in the junior division.
