Local Carthage player Mr. Robert Kratzat won the 2012 Watertown Open Chess Tournament by upsetting expert Dr. David Kistler in round two. This was the eighth Watertown Open held since 1993 and Mr. Kratzat became the eighth different champion. Mr. Kratzat was able to hold the lead over Dr. Kistler by drawing and winning games 3 and 4. Dr. Kistler took second place with a score of 3-1=0.
No player has won consecutive Open Tournaments, let alone repeat a previous win. Up and coming local chess player Josh Kelsey once again impressed with a score of 2-1=1, winning the under 1600 prize in his first Open.
Mr. Don Klug directed the Watertown Chess Club sponsored event.
