25.Ne5+ Kf8 26.Qf7#. It must be noted that Ne5+ was a discovered check, the section tournament director's favorite type of move ???? Results: No single player had a perfect score in this section! The best finishers all with 3 points were: Arvind, Greyson, Liam, and Raghav, who all earned their 1st norm. Special congratulations to Anna who earned her 2nd norm and will be awarded the category 5 title after passing the test! |
