Booster Section Report
|
| We had a big booster section this month with 20 participants. Rishi and Derin were co-winners with a perfect 4/4 points each. They both had mostly dominant performances, but each needed to make a comeback in one game to maintain their flawless records. Elizabeth, Leah, Damian, and Nikhil M. also qualified for promotion to Stepping Stone 5 by getting to three points. The best game of the tournament in this section was the round two contest between Leah and Jithin. The game started out even. Leah won a piece, but Jithin won it back quickly. Leah got back the advantage with a royal fork, but Jithin equalized by picking up some pawns and a piece with his queen. Finally, Jithin managed to corner the White king, win the queen, and checkmate. The game was a great fight that lasted 52 moves |
