Both Robert Mareska and Kosti Holtzclaw finished with perfect scores and agreed to settle first place with a blitz tiebreak, which Kosti won for the medal. Eli Adams earned a US Chess membership and competed in his first rated event!
Congrats to Chace Nguyen for winning the blitz event tonight with a perfect score of 4/4! Michael Meilinger leads in the U1200 section of classical month, but can be caught with a 1/2 bye scheduled in this month's final round. TamaghnaRoy leads by thin margin in the upper section, so week three will decide the whole shebang.
