Gregg Stanley, Don Sutherland and Andy Smith tied for the 2007 San Antonio Chess Championship, held June 23-24 at TNI. They each won $133.33, splitting the combined 1st-2nd and U2200 prizes. The trophy went on tiebreaks to first-time city champion Gregg Stanley, who drew Anderson in the last round.

All four masters fell by the wayside starting with John Patty, who withdrew after a first round loss to young Eric Lu (1650). Larry Moss withdrew after back to back draws in 3 and 4 against Dale Dike and Martin Gordon. Then Jose Silva thought the last round was at four, and overstayed watching the US-Mexico soccer match on TV, forfeiting to Sutherland. Lastly Anderson, after a first round draw with Avinash Thangirala (1660) and an abortively brief draw with Stanley after a weak move in the English.

Randall Schwarz and Steven Young tied for U2000 with 4.0 ($50 each). Avinash Thangirala finished with 3.5 to win the U1800 prize of $100. Austin Jiang and Joshua Howell both scored 3.0 to share the U1600 and U1400 prizes, winning $75 each. David Pacheco won the unrated prize of $50.

TD Martin Gordon awarded Planet Chess tee shirts to the the biggest upset winners in each round:
Rd. 1: Eric Lu (1650) over John Patty (2200)
Rd. 2: Josh Howell (1309) over Steven Young (1828)
Rd. 3: Avinash Thangirala (1660 ) over Michael Haskins (1910)
Rd. 4: David Pacheco (unrated) over Charles Foltz (1750)
Rd. 5: Bryant Davis (unrated) over Charles Foltz (1750)
