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

Quad 4: Ritwik Mummareddy and Namjyot Sirohi
