Mar 2025 at Lathrop
44 players came out to for our Chess-o-Mania event on March 1st at S.A.M. Singapore Math Center in Lathrop.
We kicked it off with lessons by Emerald Hills coaches, Grandmaster Enrico Sevillano and Fred Sabobo, followed by a 3-round quad tournament with eight rated sections for experienced players and three non-rated sections for novice competitors.
We then awarded trophies to first-place finishers in each section, along with second-place finishers scoring at least two out of three points (or in the case of one 5-player group, 3 out of 4 points).
Congrats to all our trophy winners!
Quad 1: Abhimanyu Nair
Quad 2: Anikkottil Menon, Dev Girish Kumar
Quad 3: Hitesh Kundanuru and Darsh Joshi
