24 players participated in the December 19, 2024 Rapid Night Tournament. This was our first time using the time control of 10 minutes and 5 seconds delay. We had five rounds with one game per round, and used SWISS pairing. There was an intense game in round 4 with NM Ryan Young and NM Matt Fishbein playing on the delay. Congrats to Ryan (first place), Matt (second) and Elliott (third place), all of whom took home medals. Full results and photos below.
Thanks to Adam and Jim being the on-site organizers for running such a great night. Play started at 6:30pm and finished around 9:20pm and there were several new faces.
Our next tournament will be a Fischer Random (Chess960) tournament with Rapid Time Controls in February 2025.
