Dan Coryea is the winner of the 2012 Knights Championship. He was the only player that finished the event with a perfect 3-0 score. Dan has won five monthly Knights tournaments and one Knights Championship, securing his first Knights tournament way back in October 2008. He won back-to-back Knights tourneys earlier this summer.

For winning the 2012 Knights Championship, Dan won an annual family membership to the club and a free entry into the 2013 Club Championship. The prestigious FIDE rated event will be held January 26-27 and feature a $1,300 guaranteed prize fund. It is open to all, not just those that were fortunate enough to qualify in 2012.

All 10 of the participants in the Knights Championship received GM Hikaru Nakamura's fantastic book "Bullet Chess" for successful participation.

This was the final event in the Knight Series. In 2013, the club will introduce new programming on Wednesday night.
