News From the Schenectady Championship

Bill Townsend, our excellent local chess columnist and perennial TD for Schenectady events, provided the following information:

This year’s tournament will have two sections with ten players in each. Late joiners were Michael Mockler, Bobby Rotter and Yogi Kanakamedala.

In Section A are; Richard Chu, John Phillips, Brij Saran, Patrick Chi (the highest rated player at 2051), Yogi Kanakamedala, Bill Little, Cory Northrup, Zachary Calderon, Michael Stanley and Michael Mockler.

The results from last week are; Stanley with White lost to Chu, Zach Calderon with White lost to John Phillips, and Cory Northrup with White defeated Brij Saran. The last game can be called a mild upset.

In Section B are; John Barnes, Herman Calderon, Matthew Clogh, Jeff Capitummion, Dilip Aaron, Richard Moody, Phillip Sells (the second highest rated at 1965) David Connors, Alan Le Cours and Bobby Rotter.

The results from last week are; Barnes with Black defeated Le Cours continuing his good results, Herman Calderon with Black defeated Connors, and Philip Sells won with White against Matthew Clough.

The last minute additions brought the head count up to expectations.

More soon.
