Beginner's Tournament Recap

By on September 30, 2011 in

[imagefield_assist|fid=13976|preset=fullsize|lightbox=true|title=Brett Eckert won the beginner tournament with a perfect 4/4 score. His father, FIDE Master Doug Eckert, observes.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=700|height=1050]

The September Beginners/Unrated kids tournament was another success. The tournament took place Sunday, September 25 at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center with 18 participants. Everyone won a prize, but only one child scored a perfect 4-0, as Brett Eckert (son of FM Doug Eckert) swept the field. Ruby Hamm also won all of his games, but entered late and started with a half point bye to score 3.5-0.5.

Congrats to all who participated, and we hope to see you come on out for some of our big weekend tournaments!
