Gambito #399

Gambito #399  12/06/08 December Super Gambito

Total Prize Fund $700

28 players today, just barely enough to cover the prize fund (but not the rating fee or club fee). I was trying to have 3 sections again, but there weren't quite enough players to make it work, so we fell back on the standard 2 section format.  There were 2 Masters, 5 Experts, 7 Class A, 7 Class B and 7 Class C or below, making for a nice even distribution of players with 14 in each section. A few house players filled in when needed. Quite a few of our regulars were missing, some may be saving up or resting up for next weeks' big 400th Gambito party. It is a 5 rounder that starts early at 10 AM, so don't forget. $2,300 in prizes (based on 46 entries), $50 entry fee, sign up online by emailing chucnglo@aol.com. Late entries (anybody not signed up by Friday night December 12th) will have to pay $60. Local hero IM Enrico Sevillano (on the cover of Chess Life this month) is likely to play, so don't miss this one. 

Biggest rating point gainer (estimated): Jesse Orlowski +23, 1879>1902  Event will be rated soon...

Note: initial ratings on the USCF website were incorrect due to an error on the date of this event, but are fixed now.

Biggest rating point gainers (est): Tom Petrillo +149, 1204>1353,  Madhavan Vajapeyam +70, 1613>1683
