NBCC Championship
Standings for the two sections are available on the calendar. Leading the Championship are NM Dave Herscovici, Joe Bilhmeyer and Justin Lalor with 3/4 pts. In the Challengers section, Lisa Smith is on a perfect score, with John Twombley, Shritan Vijay, Aiden Paradis, and Nikhil Addleman trailing a point behind.
Pairings for Round 5 of the Club Championship, and all subsequent rounds will be available on the calendar on the Club website on the Sunday before. Please let us know (club email or in-person on the Tuesday prior) by Friday if you need a bye in the subsequent round. We have members coming from long distances, and we don’t want anyone to come and not have a game. Thanks for your commitment and good luck in your remaining rounds.
We’re also analyzing games from the Club Championship on lichess in the Saturday Study Group. We encourage members to submit their games. You can send a copy of your scoresheet to the club email or submit your scoresheet on Tuesday.
