Carlson takes Summer Open

Joaquin Carlson took first in Saturday’s Summer Open. He has clearly shaken the rust off from being away at college. Jeremy Berman finished tied for second with Maximus Lu and Rem Yang who both significantly outperformed their expected results. Max picked up 50 rating points and Rem picked up 125. An interesting occurrence happened in the open section with 4 unrated players participating. They all exited with provisional ratings over 1700!  The days when unrated meant 400-600 and they fell for basic opening traps are gone forever. 

Daniel Pineda won the under section with a perfect score.
