Reggie Boone Memorial
Round 1 (of 5)
Club Welcomes Players "From the Past"
Two players who have not competed in a rated tournament in more than a decade are among those competing in the Reggie Boone Memorial tournament. Raymond Paulson (rated 1977) of Lowell, who stayed away from rated play for 14 years (July 1995-July 2009), and Gail Lingner (rated 1616) of Fitchburg, who has not played in a USCF-rated tournament at the club in 16.5 years (June 1993-present), played on boards 1 and 2 respectively in the first round. Paulson was held to a draw by Lenny Arsenault (1640), while Lingner had the superior position against club champion Larry Gladding (1917) and eventually allowed counterplay and lost.
