The 7 years old kid Arnav dominated the U1000 section with a perfect score and he has achieved a rating of over 1000!
As a rising star in the ICEA Chess Club, Sean took another spot in the first placers of the 1000+ section with an unbelievable 200 rating leap. Awesome!
We have 4 players tied for the 3rd - 6th places. Morgan (right) even missed the first double round.
The competition in the 1000+ is also intense, three players shared the 3rd - 5th places, and are only half point away the tied 1st - 2nd places. Nobody can dominate the 1000+ section. It is only the second tournament for Jeffery (middle), and his USCF rating skyrocketed.
