What Records or Achievements Have You Done in Chess or nonChess?
I scored 1st place in a washer pitch contest in 4th grade. That's pretty much been my most notable achievement.
4th place in the C Class for the New York Open Chess Tournament, (many years ago). Won $500.
4th place in the NCAA Judo Championships (205 lb class), (many years ago). Nota bene, 4th place was the "door prize, " as the first 3 finishers were offered a place on US Olympic Team.
I had a long period of extreme depression. It is over now and I am back playing the card game"duplicate bridge" where I get to play in tournaments with thousands of players, My results are
beyond anything in the past including:
1st place out of more than 2300 players
2nd place out of more than 4100 players
2nd place out of more than 3800 players.
several 3rd place results out of more than 4000 players
And many similar results, I can remember every single card played and my playing the hands is very good,
The two toughest and most difficult card games are poker [which I love] and duplicate bridge.

Does this count?
Found 247 4-leaf clovers in a day. Didn't break the record (officially), did it at a summer camp. It's too expensive to do these things, applying to break records require the time and money I usually don't have.
(the record was 166 for anyone wondering.)
