Final Standings: Waltham FREE WILD CARD #47, 02-16-2018

Fellow Waltham Chess Club players,

First, the 2018 Amateur Team East is in progress as I write this, and one Team has Denys Shmelov, Robert King, Todd Chase, Matt Phelps, a second Team has Jerry Li, Alan Song, Alex Yu, and Bernie Xu. There are several other MA Teams. Good luck to all of them.

And at Waltham CC, I’m very happy to get back into high attendance for our Wild Cards. Also, this was the first blitz Wild Card in quite a while, and I had forgotten how strange G/4 d2 feels in comparison to G/5 d0.

.

Winners (hypothetical, without actual prizes):

1st Place: Joseph Perl

2nd Place: Anand Nair

3rd Place: Yuriy Zhaurov

U1800: Ross Eldridge

Yuriy and Ross were tied.

Next week we have real Rated Blitz. See you again over the board.
