Congratulations to Silver Knights Coach Bryan Smith, who took first place in the Greater Philadelphia Open held from April 20-22 at Haverford College.  On his way to a 4.5/5 score, Bryan defeated a class A player and three National Masters before agreeing to a short last-round draw that guaranteed him clear first place.
