RESULTS OF THE USCF-RATED MARCH SLOW SWISS ARE IN!
Twenty-two players competed in a 3-round USCF-rated swiss tournament that ended on March 25. One game per week was played at a time control of G/60+30s increment.
Jared Cleveland, an unrated newcomer to the club and to OTB chess, finished in first place with a perfect score of 3-0 in his section. I think Jared had fun in his first OTB tournament. Eli Goplen and Bob Richardson tied for second place with 2 points. Soren Wiedmann finished in first place in the upper swiss with a perfect score of 3-0. Justin Ricker finished in second place with 2.5 points. Congratulations to all of the players. The rating report has been posted by USCF: https://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?202503257622-13703212.
The next USCF-rated slow tournament will start on Tuesday, April 8. Stay tuned for details.
