Mike Carrel (founder of the Carrel Chess Club) hosted a 5 round G/30 tournament Saturday, July 12th. The tournament was the second monthly action tournament for the Carrel Chess Club.
Here are some random observations:
1. 20 people showed up on a Saturday when there was a competing tournament in Toledo
2. Of the 20 players who played on 7/12/08, 8 were new to tournament play at CCC
3. 11 players ratings increased an average of 62.8 points each
4. 8 players ratings decreases an average of 36.8 points each
5. The 19 players gained an average of 21 points each
6. 1 player played his first tournament
Congratulations to the top 2 ratings gainers (both gained over 100 points)!
1. Alan Sun gained 341 points!
2. Mandy Lu gained 171 points
Alan Sun broke the CCC record of points gained in a single tournament. The old record had been set by John Zhang with 300 points at the June 28th Action.
Mandy Lu has gained over 100 points in both tournaments, and has now gained 325 points in 15 calendar days! Also, she is the only 2 time member of the 100 point club.
The complete 100 point club is:
