Chess Team at Supernationals

Go Lakers. We had a great Supernationals at Nashville, TN.

Here is a summary.  Largest chess tournament ever....including any in Russia. More than 5300 players with probably more than 1000 teams. Each section had approximately 400 players.

Our two sections were huge - 395 players in the Under 1600 rating section with more than 60 teams. The open section had 328 players with more than 50 teams.
We had 6 players in 2 teams:

       Wes Cannon and Peter Bertel in the open section.  Brendan Berg/Josh Jones/Isaiah Paguyo/Will Cannon in the U1600 section.


·         In the K12 championship, our team came in 30th place (Peter Bertel and Wes Cannon)


·         In the K12 Under 1600 ratings, we came in 9th place overall (Will Cannon, Isaiah Paguyo, Josh Jones and Brendan Berg). This happened with a Sunday charge from 15th place to 13th place to finish in 9th place overall due to


·         Brendan's final game win an Josh's strategic draw offer.
