TD Steve Immitt told CLO that the atmosphere on the boardwalk was ideal. "The weather was great (on Sunday) and the hotel is right on the boardwalk...you can see Atlantic Ocean from your hotel room. "

Also notable was the Under 1200 Section winner, Henry Olynik, who is legally blind (coverage of the recently concluded 2010 US Blind Chess Championships here.)
