Gambito #369  5/03/08    May Super Gambito

25 players, a little less than expected. Cinco De Mayo celebrations may have held back some of our frequent players from Mexico.

Best Game Prize winner was Varun Krishnan, $15, for win over Chuck Ensey that included a Queen Sac and a rare mate delivered by a pawn. See Cyrus Annotates for some of the other contenders. No games submitted for the Reserve Section...   

Biggest rating point gainers: Varun Krishnan +26 to 1916 and Aaron Householder +24 to 1326
