2013 Abe Yanofsky Memorial Standings

| Trevor Vincent - Kevin Li - Board 1 - Round 4 Photo: Mark Ma |
1st - Trevor Vincent
2nd - 3rd Kevin Gentes, Kevin Li
shared with
1st - 2nd U2000 - Aaron Green, James Currie
3rd U2000 - Steven de Groot, Ryne Swift, Gustav Baron
The key game, in my opinion, was the third round encounter between FM Kevin Gentes and Trevor Vincent. Gentes, with white, appeared to have the advantage; Vincent was using a lot of time in a complicated position. Vincent developed dangerous counterplay, with Gentes eventually missed something while both players living on the 30-second increment. An epic battle between the most decorated Manitoba champions of recent history.
The prize fund was supplemented by a donation from Jeff Babb.

2013 Abe Yanofsky Memorial - Round 5 results
Open
Trevor Vincent was the sole player to win with Black in the Open Section - and it was good enough for a one point victory in the 11th Annual Abe Yanofsky Memorial Open Section. The only player who could overtake Trevor was Sam Lipnowski who lost to Kevin Li.
U1800
Jim Green Drew with Ken Einarsson, which provided Bruce Leaden a chance to win outright with a win over Keith Gannon. However, the undefeated Gannon won an interesting ending to share first with Green. In fact the top 5 finishers only lost 2 games amongst them.
