The Late Winter Chess League! (Club Newsletter: March '26)
This February, we had seven players available on the 27th, so we quickly put together a quick-rated tournament that same night! We wanted to shout out Lenden Rhodes for winning with 3/3 points, putting them in first place! Then we had a three-way tie for second place between Tate Alexander, Calder Feinstein, and Jefferson Brown, all finishing with 2/3 points. Congratulations to all players!
