More than 80 players into Auburn to play in the 1st Auburn Power Open on November 2-4, 2012. Organized by the Auburn Chess Club, with the sponsorship of the The Power Club restaurant and brewery, the tournament is believed to be one of the largest and strongest tournaments ever held in the Sacramento region.
Led by two Grandmasters, three International Masters, five FIDE Masters, and three Life Masters, a field of twenty-three players competed in the Open (2000+) section. GM Enrico Sevillano finished with 4.0 in the five-round tournament, giving him a clear first place. Six tied for second with 3.5: GM Walter Browne, IM Ricardo DeGuzman, FM David Lucky, FM Pedram Atoufi, FM Nick Raptis, and Kesav Viswanadha. GM Sevillano's effort won him the top prize of $817.
