Results of Western Idaho Open, played Saturday, December 6 at the Boise, Idaho YMCA. Max Wennstrom directed as well as tying for first and taking second on S.B. points. Winner was Ted Hartwell of Twin Falls. Players from throughout southern Idaho participated. The tournament was not USCF rated in an attempt to get new players, and several turned up to make this a highly successful tournament. The closeness of the play is evidenced by a four way tie for first and four more tied just ½ point below. Idaho's over 1900 players didn't turn out but most of the prominent players with ratings below 1900 participated. Idaho's (Closed) State Championship Tournament date was set for February 14-15 in Twin Falls -- USCF rated, one section.
