Farewell to Omkar Yadav

The Harrison County Chess Club got together a couple of weeks ago to say farewell to Omkar Yadav. Omkar has rapidly improved over the last year or two and we will certainly miss him. He is moving to Iowa with his parents.

We had a G/10 tournament as a send-off, which was won by Ben Good. Crosstable
