Leve Wins New York Experts

Nitai Leve, a young and increasingly tough opponent, took clear first in the October New York Experts. Leve defeated NMs Yevgeni Margulis and Vladimir Polyakin along with expert Evan Rabin en route to a 3 1/₂-1/₂ score.

As usual, this event was packed with strong players--only one participant was rated below 2000. The next New York Experts will be on November 4 at 7 PM (please register by 6:45).
