Saturday’s Rapid Winners (10/17)
The club wishes to congratulate Jayant Maheshwari (Flareblitz7) for winning clear 1st place in yesterday’s online Rapid tournament with a perfect score of 4/4 points and a prize award of $40.
In the tie for 2nd place, Tampa’s Corey Acor (TampaChess) and Belarus GM Aleksei Aleksandrov (aleksandrovaleksei) battled for the top spot but their draw in the 3rd round kept them from a perfect score in the 4 round tournament, giving them a prize award of $20 each.
Other winners include Calcul8tor for our U1800 prize of $15, agrimjax for the top U1500 prize of $15, with Anderbot winning our top U1200 prize of $15.

Reminder of Chess.com’s Fair Play Policies For Online Tournaments
Chess.com has strict Fair Play policies and advanced software analysis tools regarding players who appear to be using some form of electronic assistance (e.g. chess engines) in making their moves in tournament games played on their platform.
In fact, after a chess.com review process of our May 9th online tournament, two of our players in that tournament, who finished in 1st & 2nd place, were flagged by chess.com for their unrealistic accuracy rate in games against titled National Master players. As such, both players had their accounts closed by chess.com and were disqualified from winning their place prizes.
