Our second club championship concluded Thursday, November 30th, with many exciting games impacting the final prize distributions, as is often the case in a single-section Swiss event such as ours, and we were able to stream the top six boards live thanks to the efforts of Jean-Rudolph Cendejas and Cesar Tamondong—thank you both again for arranging that for our club!
Alex Chin went a perfect 5-0 to claim sole first place, followed by Tobin Bennion and David Zhao in second with 4 points out of five. Prinav Jindal, Nick Matelli, and Anton Bobkov shared 4th-6th places with 3.5 points and five players tied for 7th-11th with 3.0. The US Chess rating report may be found here while the full wall chart and prize group standings follow in the two tables below. Thank you to everyone who played in this event and we’ll look to hold a third club championship same time next year!
