End of the Year Tournament
New Year's Eve at the U.S. Chess Center has become quite a tradition. With kids anxious to get out of the house by the end of the winter break (and parents glad to have them out of the house) the tournament is among the most popular of the year.
This year, a lot of players came to play chess, get a neat T-shirt then stick around for pizza, cake and soda once the awards were distributed. The players were divided into five sections.
Kindergarten - 2rd Grade Gregory Beresovsky and Peter Nelson tied for first with 3.5 points apeice.
3rd Grade Connor Holliday and Daniel Toth both tied for first with a perfect score each.
4th Grade Eric Passmore won with a perfect 4 points.
Grades 5 - 6 Andrew Freix won the blitz play-off with Edward Lu to claim the larger of the Co-Champion trophies Grant Sandlin also had a perfect score.
Grades 7 - 12 Ema Peirson took home a big trophy as the only player to win all four games in her section of the tournament.
