Gambito 1020

Gambito #1,020 was a doozy - 78 players!! That's not including house players, wow what a great turnout! We started a little late but got everyone registered and play began before just before 11 AM, we prefer to start at 10:30 but just can't do it when this many players show up. I guess it is a good problem to have... But please try to get there a little earlier people so we can start on time, it is impossible when 50 people show up at 10:15!! Also we had 10 unrated players yesterday, that is more than we have ever had! That can slow things down a little too as we have to get them all signed up with USCF.

Here are the prizes (note there are a few corrections from what was initially shown on the wall chart, one game was incorrectly scored as a loss for one player in the Open, when actually he won (Arjun Jagan in the last round game):

Elite Section (12 players) - 1st/2nd Place/BU2000 pooled prize: Solomon Ruddell (3) Benjamin Tang (3) and Tori Porat (3), $83 each. Tori wins $75 for BU2000, but also take some of Solomon's and Ben's money - they would have won $87, but she tied them, so higher rated players can never win more than lower rated players with the same score. They can win less sometimes, but never more, they have to share the money because this is always a "Best Under" scoring system not strict Class prizes. Similarly for the next prizes, there were 3 players with 2 1/2, Carlos Varela (2 1/2) wins 3rd Place, which was $50, but he has to share that money with 2 lower rated players who also scored 2 1/2, so they all win $42 each instead of Jacob Wang (2 1/2) and Zachary Gold (2 1/2) winning only $37 each. This is why prizes are always "subject to review", sorry we paid some of you guys too much and will have to claw some money back ($4 from Solomon and $8 from Carlos) and redistribute. It isn't easy to figure out the prizes, I make mistakes all the time, and Jim made a few minor ones here while I had to leave early to go to the Padre game (enjoying a great performance by Blake Snell and a Padre win!). No biggie, the players understand.

Open Section (17 players) - 1st/2nd Place: Hongyi Niu (3 1/2) and Jeffrey Lindquist (3 1/2), $87 each; 3rd Place: Leon Chen (3), $50; BU1800: Ryuta Nunez (2 1/2), $75; 2nd/3rd U1800: Ryan Cai (2), Arthur Zhang (2) and Kai Kettering (2), $25 each.

U1700 Section (16 players) - 1st Place: Omar Orduno (3 1/2), $75; 2nd/3rd/BU1500: Jacob Liu (3), Howard Li (3) and Xingti Gu (3): $67 each; 2nd/3rd U1500: Kathryn Mokhov ( 2 1/2), Kian Saharabudhe (2 1/2) and Francis Ordanza (2 1/2), $25 each.

U1300 Section (33 players) - 1st Place: Angel Ruiz (4), $75; 2nd Place: Jason Nunez (3 1/2), $50; Best Unrated: Daniel Mahoney (3 1/2), free entry to next Gambito; 3rd Place: Jocelyn Fan (3), $25; 1st/2nd U1000/BU800: Nicolas Pentheroudakis (3), Andy Galligan (3) and Christopher Wang (3), $50 each; 3rd Place: Jocelyn Fan (3), $25; 3rd U1000: Sachin Chavatsapalli (2 1/2) and Ayaan Oswal (2 1/2), $10 each; 2nd U800: Katherine Ahrens (2) and Michael Xie (2), $12 each.

Total Prizes: $1,470 based on 78 players (68 paid, unrated players get in for free). Directed by Jim Harrell with assistance from Chuck Ensey. The event was rated last night.

NO GAMBITO NEXT 2 WEEKS: Gay Pride Parade next Saturday on 7/15 makes finding parking impossible so we take the day off and then the following weekend is the Pacific Coast Open in Van Nuys.
