Nikhilesh Kunche won the January 28th, 2012 Peoria Winter Tornado for the second year in a row again with a perfect 4/0 score. There was a four way tie for second place with scores of 3/1 between Pete Karagianis, Jordan Nach, Hanson Hao and Peter Mc Conaghie. There were 28 players in the Open section.

Aydin Turgut representing the up and coming young players at age 7, current US K-1 National Champion, played 3 games, winning 2 out of three vs higher rated players to raise his rating from 1509 to 1593.

At the last moment the organizers added a scholastic section which ended up with 16 players and was won by Maxwell Jong with a score of 4/0.

The playing site was Lakeview Museum's auditorium, so there was plenty of room, with a separate skittle room upstairs.

And did I forget to mention there was free pizza?

All in all a nice little tournament.
