In the Memorial Day 2021 CCCSA GM/IM Norm Invitational, Christopher Yoo made his first GM norm (6.5/9) in the GM Group, while Doug scored 4/9 and Matan 3/9 in the IM Group. You can see the games from both tournaments here.
Manish and Shahil were both participating in a GM tournament in Hungary. In the last round it was a fighting draw; Manish found a nice Rook sacrifice and forced a perpetual. Shahil finished at 4.5/9 and Manish 3.5/9. Mishra was 6/9. Almost there! All three are having another go at it.
Max held the draw against Henriquez Villagra in the American Hybrid World Cup Qualifier but did not qualify after all.
Jonathan Blackburn did not submit homework this week! He is forgiven though since he won the Welsh Championship. You can see his forum post here, describing how he was hearing Jacobs voice saying ‘what are the options?’
Send us links or information if you are playing a tournament. Your friends in the academy will be routing for you!
