By | July 25, 2013

Screen Shot 2013-09-26 at 7.49.16 AMHere are the results from all four Summer Youth Chess Fundraisers (4SS, G/45;d5) held from July 12 through 14 at RPI in Troy, 12180:

July 12, 2013:  21 players displayed their courage and expertise in this fundraiser, Celebrating Ken Evans, held at RPI’s Student Center at 15th St. and Sage Ave, Troy, 12180. All played in one section due to the low number of players. Philip Sells directed.  Funds raised totalled ($120) due mainly to the generous $100 donation from the Gong family.

August 3, 2013: A much smaller courageous group of chess gladiators (12) participated in Celebrating Herman Calderon, the second of four fundraisers in Troy this summer supporting “Free Chess for Youth” .  Funds raised totalled -$71.00.

August 24, 2013: 15 Warriors entered the fray this  Saturday at RPI, Celebrating Dr. G, with Patrick Chi and Zachary Calderon emerging unscathed at 3-0, sharing first and second place honors. This three-round event with one section featured Zaza Samadashvili (2.0) winning 1st place in the Under 1600 section on tiebreak points over Michael Cheng (2.0) with Trilok Shahi (1.5) in 3rd Place. The Under 1300 Prize was won by Pranav Venkataraman (1.0) on tiebreak over Sandeep Alampalli (1.0). Top Upset book prizes were won by Martha Samadashvili. Funds raised totalled -$55.00.

Patrick Chi (3.5) and Jeffrey La Combe (3.5) split the Totally Awesome section prize ($75 each) in the 4 round three-section SS Celebrate Karen Merker Championship at RPI’s Academy Hall on Sept.14. 31 Players made this the largest of the four fund-raisers due to the fearless travelers from Kingston. The top 3 winners Under 1600, top 2 Under 1200 and top 2 Under 700 will be shown shortly according to the tie-break points listed at the tournament. Funds raised exceeded $54.00.  Many thanks to all.  Send your comments to brjohn@juno.com to improve our outreach to the youth, our leaders in the tomorrow that’s almost…
