SCC 2010 Club Championships
(9 rounds, February 25 to April 22, 2010)
Yuanling Yuan is the 2010 SCC Champion! Congratulations to Yuanling for another fine tournament. However, because Yuanling has already won a tournament, she can't win the $50 membership credit again. Tied at 5.5 points were Rune Pedersen and John Hall. Application of the first tie-break test (Sonneborn-Berger) still left Pedersen and Hall tied. Only when we look at the number of wins for each of Pedersen and Hall do we see that Pedersen claims second place and the $50 membership extension. Hall takes third -- ever so close to Pedersen.
Congratulations to the winners of our Reserves sections -- Andrew Picana and Magas Yusuf. Andrew was alone in first place in the Open section with 7.5 points. Just behind Andrew was Randy Moysoski at 7 points. There was a 4-way tie at 6 points with Mike Conte grabbing third place by our tie-break rules. Andrew Picana wins a $50 credit towards the extension of their SCC membership.
In the U1700 section, Magas was perfect in the U1700 section winning all 9 of his games! Maurice Smith grabbed second place with 6.5 points and John Walker at 6 points. U1700 winner Magas Yusuf has already won himself $50 in an earlier tournament, so the $50 SCC membership extension goes to Maurice Smith.
