Player Disqualifications Gives Clear 1st Place To NM Raghav Venkat!

After chess.com determined our 1st & 2nd place winners violated their Fair Play policies in yesterday’s online tournament, the club wishes to congratulate NM Raghav Venkat (LilRag) who, after the player disqualifications, won clear 1st place with a prize payout of $80.

2nd & 3rd place prize payouts were combined and split among the three titled National Master players, NM Storchnoi, NM TheoSlade, and NM Cornwallite, all of who earned 3 points each and a $26.67 prize.

Other winners include KbloxK for the top U1800 $30 prize, thechicken99 won the top U1400 $30 prize, and both finehiddenbrother & anderbot tied for the top U1000 prize, giving each player a prize payout of $15.

We look forward to next Saturday’s prize tournament on May 16, 2020 that starts exactly at 2pm EST!
