Women's Championship, which ended Tuesday in Spartanburg, S.C., with a convincing score of 7V4-1W. In her first try for the U.S. title, the former Soviet star who defected in 1988 began with six straight wins. Then she had to return to her home in Seattle, so she arranged to play her remaining three games in one day, and drew them all to clinch first prize. Esther Epstein of Massachusetts finished second with Epstein, who emigrated from the Soviet Union with her husband IM Alexander Ivanov in 1988, also made her first appearance in the U.S.

Women's Championship. Next at 5-4 were Pamela Ruggiero of Danville and Vesna Dimitrijevich of Massachusetts. Other scores: Shernaz Mis-try-Kennedy (New York), 4-5; Sharon Burtman (Massachusetts), Krystyna Wieckiewicz (Massachusetts), Liz Neely (Santa Cruz), and Aloxey Root (Los An-gelos), 3W-5W; and Diana Gherghe (Nor-walk), 3-6.
