JOEL WALD AND BRANDON WU SCORE 3 POINTS TO SHARE 1ST PLACE IN WEAVER ADAMS
GAIN FREE ENTRY INTO THE REUBENS-LANDEY 1800-U2199
QUALIFIER EVENT FOR THE BCC CHAMPIONSHIP
Steve Stepak vs Brandon Wu, Round 2.
Remember the "d5" pawn push I failed to make vs Daniel Wang in the
Grande Prix U1800 Round 1 game? Well as luck would have it (co-incidence?)
I also missed a thematic d5 push vs Brandon Wu in a
Nimzo-/Queeen's Indian hybrid which would have been a "+/-" evaluation.
As they say in the movies: "it was not meant to be. . . "
Steven Stepak vs Joel Wald, Round 3.
"Benoni" lesson. 1.d4 c5 is a really complicated tangle of
opening nuance and tactics. I learned a lot playing Joel.
My two defeats in the Weaver Adams launched the career of
9 yr old Brandon Wu and made Joel Wald very happy. They
both scored 3 points to share 1-2nd in this event, writing their free
tickets into the Reubens-Landey, a 1800-U2199 qualifier which
seeds the winner into the Boylston CC Championship, played this Fall.

BCC Treasurer Bob Oresick plays Tom Pendergast in Round 3.
Decisive Game, Round 4: Brandon Wu, black vs Richard Mooney.
Brandon Wu chalked up a +78 rating hike. Keep an eye on this
young prodigy too, along with Daniel Wang!
(background): Bob Oresick black vs Chen Bai.
There were 8 players in the Weaver Adams event.

Mika Brittain, Andrew Liu, Luke Lung, Nithin Kavi, Mateos Sahakian, Jacob Fauman,
