Grand Prix #4 recap

First Grand Prix of the year unfortunately did not have 3 of the best players rating-wise from the previous events, David, Lewis and Me. 

However, it didn't disappoint.

Current standings reminder:

1. Leo Sun / Belmont / 12 Points

2. Uri Netzer / Lexington / 11 Points

T3. David Katsman / Brookline / 8 Points

T3. Xenofon Papamichail / Brookline / 8 Points

T3. Sritan Devineni / Lexington / 8 Points

T3. Lewis Tu / Belmont / 8 Points

Uri completes one of the smoothest Vienna games from black possible to beat Duckeyyy to win the highest rated first match. Uri is ranked #2 prior to this event so he is certainly someone to watch, especially because 4 of the top 6 did not play. 

Another heavyweight matchup won by Uri.

After this game, a 600 point upset, @turnuphater otherwise known as Gabriel Jacobs, turned up big time to win this event by 6 points, beating out Uri and Xenofon. 

1. Uri Netzer / Lexington / 17 Points

T2. Leo Sun / Belmont / 12 Points

T2. Xenofon Papamichail / Brookline / 12 Points

T4. David Katsman / Brookline / 8 Points

T4. Sritan Devineni / Lexington / 8 Points

T4. Gabriel Jacobs / Newton South 8 Points

T4. Lewis Tu / Belmont / 8 Points

Despite losing this event, Uri catapults into a large first place lead due to his consistency. Gabriel Jacobs also jumps to first place in what I believe was his first event. 

Be on the lookout for this coming week, 7 PM this Saturday, and maybe you can be featured.
