CCC Newsletter: August 25
Happy August everyone! Hope Summer has been good to everyone so far.
This month, we’ll be focused more on casual club events, but still plan to have a quick tournament at the end of the month and a Chess.com team-rematch against the SLC Chess Club from The City Library!
Aside from that, the UCA is hosting a Round-Robin Quad tournament this upcoming Saturday, now at a g/25+5 time-control!
July Recap:
First, we wanted to congratulate again our club’s Summer League winners: 1st: Mario Homer (3/4pts); 2nd: Andre Herrera (3/4pts); 3rd: Jason Barton (2.5/4pts)!
For more details: CCC Summer League
We also wanted to congratulate the players of our July quick tournament for some tough competition, especially Benjamin Watanabe, Maxim Dermenji, Kevin Clarkson, and Jason Barton, who all finished with 3/4pts in the USCF section, out of 9 players!
Plus, our Community section had a small turn-out of six players. There, we saw Camden Lamb finish with 4/4pts, Praneet Verma with 3/4pts, then a two-way tie for third by Gabriel Eduards and Brooke Bardsley.
