February Swiss Results and Crosstable

Roger v. Khoa (Frank looking on)

Congratulations to John B. on winning the GCC February Swiss!

Crosstable

We had several exciting last round games with moderate to severe time pressure involved. Congratulations to our ratings points big gainers--Jim up 104 points, John T. up 58 points and Calvin up 46 points!

Kartik v. Emily (the start of a hard fought, final round draw)

Our March Tournament (4-SS, Game/60) starts next Wednesday the 3rd with games on the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th. Entry is $2. Let me know asap if you want to play but will be arriving late or need a bye for the 1st round. Registration is from 5:30 to 5:40 with the 1st round at 5:45 pm.

Vincent v. Calvin (drawn by perpetual check)

Since March has 5 meetings our last Wednesday (31st) will be Game/15 Quick Quads for those interested. Free entry to those that play in the March Swiss, others $1.

Carl v Torey

Spread the word about the Georgetown Chess Club. We are steadily gaining new members. I believe with a little luck we can see tournament entries in the 20s next month.
