Former Lyndon Institute senior IM Matyas Marek, winner of the 2017 Danville Open, is now a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Marek plays on the UMBC-A chess team that just competed in the Pan-Am Championships in San Francisco. He finished at 4.5/6 losing one game to a GM and drawing one with another with a GM. Marek is pictured here at the Danville Open playing against Vermont’s National Master David Carter.
