USA Recaptures CdA Trophy

The USA brought home the Coeur d'Alene Tournament trophy this past weekend April 20,21 2013. The tournament is run every two years with typically 12 players from the US and 12 players from Canada participating. The trophy had been in Canada the last 6 years.

With a last minute dropout on the American team, it was Jesse Wornum who saved the day. He agreed to join with only 1-2 days notice and made sure no one had a bye. His peptalk before round 1 seems to have worked too. All prize money in the top division was won by the US. And all prize money in the bottom division was won by Canadians. This was consistent with the average rating biases in each division. In the end the US prevailed by the margin of 85.5 - 82.5 for the 14 rounds x 12 games. Congratulations!
