Sunday G/30 Quads

8/27

Today’s tournament saw an exciting show down in our top quad.  Brent McCreesh was close to reaching his goal of crossing 1800. After winning his first two games the only thing left in his way was CCFC regular Eugene Ulyanov, whom if Brent could manage to defeat he would reach his goal.  Unfortunately for McCreesh, Ulyanov had other ideas and after a tense middlegame struggle Ulyanov was able to break through the center to win the game with an invincible passed pawn.  Ulyanov was the top section’s winner today and meanwhile McCreesh made good progress towards his goal. 

The next section was a swiss.  The only player to emerge unscathed was Max Ingargiola who won with a perfect 3/3 score.  Just behind was Erik Nebylovych with 2/3 points.  Combined these two players gained a remarkable 156 points!
