I haven’t posted in a couple weeks so I’m sharing the results of our Impromptu Blitz #76, which occurred October 29th, as well as the round one results from our club championship, available here. Congratulations to Pranav Jindal and Alexander Su for their first place tie in the blitz with 6.0 points out of 7, while Carlos Jerez and Hugo Pu shared second at 5.0. Full results are in the attached image and we had three first-time visitors play in this event—welcome to Tony Kukavica, Gil Banuelos and Amir Osman and we hope you join us again soon!
Our club championship is, as always, played in one large section and the first round results fell pretty much as expected given the large ratings disparities seen in these early games, save for two upsets: Michael Hadley won against Frisco Del Rosario and Sushant Shanker drew a tough game with with Aiden Huang, while several other games were very competitive. As a reminder, our championship continues until December 10th and we have just the Oak Room available to us, though we will have tables set up outside that room for casual games and tournament postmortem activities if you wish to spectate or play some casual chess. Regards,
Mark Drury
