Fellow BCF Chess players,
The Charles Drafts Memorial is named after a disabled chess
player at Harvard University who in the 80s was renowned for inviting
players to his house for chess play, food, and drink. I am glad that
despite the closing of Alewife Station over the weekend, our attendance
at BCF did not suffer. We got together 41 players and had a dominant
Open Section of 22 players. Unfortunately we had to combine the U2000
and U1500 Sections this time - the U1500 was too small - but in time we
should get enough players to run consistently all three Sections in
tandem.
A warm welcome to new BCF Member Lucas Baker who took home the
U1500 prize with 2.5 points in the combined Section. He lost only to
the U2000 overall champion David Milliern (3.5 points). His rating is
up to 1394, so perhaps he won't be U1500 much longer. We are happy to
welcome him to our group and hope he will attend many future events.
Winners:
Open:
1st:/2nd (tied): Nathan Solon, Suraj Ramanathan, Akshay Padmanabhan
U2000:
1st: David Milliern
U1500:
1st: Lucas Baker
I'll be back again in September for the $15 Open on Sunday
9/16. On the day before, I hope to see many of you at the Harvard Open.
See you over the board.
