Congratulations to Mark Bauman, Bethany Christian High School senior, for successfully defending his title as Elkhart County Scholastic Chess Champion at the 20th Elkhart County Scholastic Chess Championships. The tournament, held Saturday, March 11, at Bethany Christian Schools, attracted 119 participants in 4 sections.
Mark won his title by scoring 4.5-0.5 to finish clear first in the Championship section. With this win, Mark becomes our first 4-time county champ. Not only has Mark won more county titles than anyone else, I believe he has played in more county tournaments than anyone else. He first played as a second grader in 1996 (he won the 3rd place trophy, grades 2/Under that year) and he hasn't missed a tournament since. With Mark's last two tournaments, he has edged over the 1800 mark, so he is now a bona fide A-player. We wish Mark the best of luck in the future.
Other section winners were Brice Purtlebaugh of Concord Junior High in the Reserve Section, Kane White in the Booster Section, and Trevor Warren in the Novice Section.
Our thanks to the staff, teachers, and parents of Bethany Christian for hosting the tournament, and to Les Kistler, Doug Baker, and Matt Nesbitt for serving as tournament directors. Thanks, too, to you parents who made it possible for your children to play by giving up your Saturday to hang out at a chess tournamemnt.
You will find complete resutls in tiebreak order below. You can see the official USCF crosstable for the three rated sections by visiting http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?200603111681. PLEASE NOTE!! The USCF crosstable is NOT in tiebreak order, and it lists current ratings, not most recently published ratings. In other words, it won't look much like my crosstable below.
