Our November 2 dual-rated tournament had a relatively small turnout of 33, but quite a bit of strength at the top. Clear first place honors in the Gold section went to the new guy in town: Ekin Zeytinoglu, a FIDE-rated college student from Turkey who was playing his very first USCF-rated event and went undefeated for four rounds. Expert David Franklin and Daniel Bronfeyn each had 3 points, and guest master FM Kevin Bachler and NM Ken Wallach each scored 2.5.
Kevin was kind enough to annotate his four games from the tournament and they can be viewed here .
Tony Christian led the Silver section with a perfect 4 (and a gain of 81 points), followed by Daum Hazners, who scored 3 for the day. Annie Xu proved she was ready to play up to the middle section, picking up 142 rating points in the process.
Keith Ammann showed us he's back in form by winning the Bronze section with a 3.5 score and a gain of 112 points. Adam Bareket and Aaron Howe were right behind him with 3.0 scores.
