Pairings and No Chess Club Next week April 30th and May 7th.

Another exciting morning, Nathan Wei defended board 1 and defeated Andy Luo in a hard fought match.  We still have 5 undefeated players!  JJ Brown has extended his winning streak to 2 with an upset over Eddy Xu, Hey guys watch that 4 move checkmate!  How did the game between Ben and Sachiko end in a draw?  did someone forget how to checkmate properly? 

In the GIRL POWER race we have a 4 way tie with 1.5 points between Miranda Feng, Alexandra Curtu (who defeated Alexander Pierce in the battle of the Alex's), Alyson Skala and Diana Tivanskaya. 

Remember there will be no Chess Club next week April 30th and the week after May 7th.  This first due to the band performance and the second due to the book fair. 

here are May 14th Pairings
