Yesterday we held the 2nd annual Peninsula Chess Club Invitational. 12 top Peninsula Chess Club players battled in two sections.
In Group A, Collin Liou was the champion, finishing 4.0/5, with Ethan Cartagena second at 3.5. In Group B, Nathan Gong battled Elliott Regan in the last round for first place. Elliott went into the last round at 3.5/4 and so only needed to draw against Nathan (3.0/4), but in a tense rook, pawn and knight endgame Nathan prevailed and took the championship.
