The Markowski Open Rd 6

Rd 6 of 7 Club Championship Qualifier!

7 PM on 2/08/12

85 players, plus a few house players...

Here are the results for Round 5...   

There were many upsets this round and the rating mismatches aren't quite as wide as they were in the beginning, so I haven't been highlighting the upsets. One does deserve special mention; Stanford Talcott upset the the fast rising Zechariah Zhu. Stan has been applying himself hard lately with lots of study and he deserves extra credit!

Time Control is our standard 40/90, SD/60, d/5.

The 13 players with the highest score at the end of 7 rounds will qualify to join the Club Championship with Raoul Crisologo, Bruce Baker and John Funderburg. Usually it takes 5 points to get into this select group and often there are a few fives with the worst tie breaks that don't make it in. (here's a tip - taking byes hurts your tie breaks, so try to avoid them if possible). Also the top 16 qualifiers under 1800 will play in the Reserve Championship.

Cash Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each rating class and maybe even 4th or 5th place, depending on the number of players.
