Round 4 is now complete. Joe Alford upset the highest rated player, and is now the only player who has a perfect 4.0 score. With two rounds remaining only Joe, Dennis Bourgerie, and Surya Kopula can make a 5.0 score (dropping worst result.) Round 5 will almost certainly be a crucial round in determining the championship.
The scholastic championship is now a three-way tie for the lead. Nikhil Pallem, Niranjan Panneerselvam, and Hanson Hao are all tied with a 2.0 score. Much battling remains with only two rounds left to determine a champion.
The Under-1200 rating is also a three-way tie with 2.0 points for the lead. Nikhil Pallem, Michael Boyle, and Chris Morgan are all tied with two rounds left to play. Wes Laudenslager also tied with 2.0 in a make-up game with Michael Bishop.
Exciting times are ahead for the final third of the tournament. Join us February 21st for more play!
