April 2017 PCL Results

The April 2017 Peninsula Chess League tournament was held on Friday, April 21st.  This was a 3-round event, time control G/15; d3 for the USCF sections, and G/18 for the unrated sections.  The tournament was run as an individual Swiss tournament with 5 sections (3 USCF-rated, 2 unrated).  86 kids participated.

Here is the USCF Rating Report.  Some notable rating gains: Ariane Yedidia (924 -> 1030), Niko Nachbar (593 -> 853), Nathan Bederov (655 -> 786), Trisha Sabadra (458 -> 613), and Robyn Nakhimovsky (216 -> 415).

Winning teams:

1st place, Super Team (6 players):  Arroyo/Central Middle
1st Place, Large Team (5 players):  Bayside
1st Place, Standard Team (4 players):  Fox
1st Place, Small Team (3 players);  Tierra Linda
1st Place, Mini Team (2 players):  Peninsula Liberty Academy

This was Arroyo/Central Middle's second Super Team victory.  This was Bayside's first win of any kind in the PCL.  Fox is the only school to have wins in all 9 PCL tournaments.  PLA won the mini team prize for the 4th consecutive time.  Only a miracle win by Ethan in round 3 prevented Kids Connection from winning the mini team title.  If Ethan had lost, Kids Connection would have beaten both Woodland and PLA by 1 point (and Brewer Island by 3 points).

Players with perfect 3.0 scores:  Ethan Cartagena, Alan Finkelstein, Thomas Lu, Niko Nachbar, Trisha Sabadra, Cade Miller, Aaron Kang, Nate Hui, Alexander Shi, and Michael Fowler.
