The A Team
|
|
First Board: Andy Lee '03
Rating: 2163
Tournament summary: Played solidly throughout, though he lost a
120-move match to Aleksandar Stamnov (2315) in the second round. He said,
"I got educated in minor piece end games, the hard way."
|
|
|
Second Board: Bryan
Gast '03
Rating: 2054
Tournament summary: Got a little toasted, but had some good wins as
well. Tough matches all around.
|
|
|
Third Board: Eli Morris '03
Rating: 1884
Tournament summary: Missed a critical win at one point, but tore it up
otherwise.
|
|
|
Fourth Board: Peter Newhall '03
Rating: 1584
Tournament summary: Went throughout without a loss, but took a dubious
draw at one point. "Andy, is it okay if I offer a draw?"
"Well...I won't hate you for it."
|
The B Team
|
|
First Board: Taylor Curtis '04
Rating: 1504
Tournament summary: Had a hard tournament in which he played up a lot
(mostly 1700s and such). He did managed to pull off a miraculous win in
the fifth round a game with incredibly double-edged play.
|
|
|
Second Board: John Lansing '01
Rating: 1393
Tournament summary: John played incredibly well considering his only
loss was to a 2200. Truly, a strong performance.
|
|
|
Third Board: Brendan Foote '04
Rating: 927
Tournament summary: Having the huge advantage of being underrated by
almost a thousand points, Brendan didn't find much competition except for
the one expert he played and beat (rated 2014).
|
|
|
Fourth Board: Paul Morsbach
Rating: unrated
Tournament summary: Paul had to play as black for all four of his
games, and was outrated for every one of them, too.
|
|
|
Alternate: Brendon Stanton
Rating: unrated
Tournament summary: Brendan also found himself outclassed. At one time
he was playing an "unrated" who had previously been 1950!
