In the Willie Hutch Jones Scholastic Section had seven players participate and had two divisions: Starters and Advanced.
We were happy to see two players came in from Erie PA. We welcomed Christopher and Susan Dunsworth who drove in that morning with older brother Joshua and Dad Raymond Dunsworth. Susan is our first female from the state of Pennslvania. This was her first "emotional" medal, earned while playing King v King & Queen under time pressure. Thanks for joining us and we hope you return with your new smile and please bring a friend next time, Susan. We

Well, I kept my promise (in the pre-reg thread) to be beatable! Despite my 4-0 score, I had lost positions toward the end of two of my games. Just 1 move each---I was winning both games 2 moves before and 1 move after---but like ol' Tom Watson knows, you gotta take your chance exactly when it comes!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good turnout and a nice tournament. Ave atque vale Lionel---we need to develop another master here, young'uns take note!
I had a lost position against Lionel in the 2nd round. So I was already lucky to be at 3 on 3 at the end of third round. So asking for 4 on 4 and that too with my last round against IM Regan was being over ambitious, even if theoretically speaking I could have spotted the win.
ReplyDeleteWhat does points in the Upset points mean? For example the post says, I had upset pts of 840. I certainly did not win anyone 840 pts above me. So I wonder what that means, performance pts may be ??
ReplyDeleteThe results are not yet up at uscf. Just checked it.
Harish,
ReplyDeleteI imagine in this case it's a cumulative
total of the points above you that players
had that you defeated - in your case, a
total of 840 points.
