K-12 Grade Level Nationals, Final Results

The K-12 Nationals are now in the books.  Kindergartener Maurya Palusa is the National Kindergarten co-champion, winning 6 out of 7 games, along with fellow Northern California player Chinguun Bayaraa.  In the 6th grade section, Kevin Moy went into the final round in a 3-way tie for first and played on the top board with a golden chance to win the 6th grade championship, but came up short and wound up tied for fourth with 5.5 out of 7.  4th grader Serafina Show wound up with 4.0 out of 7.

Congrats to the Northern California players who were crowned champions - Maurya and Chinguun in Kindergarten, Rayan Taghizadeh in 4th grade, and Vignesh Panchanatham in 6th grade.

The event was marred by a person who fell from his room on one of the top floors of the Hilton Anatole between the 4th and 5th rounds on Saturday.  There were all kinds of rumors going around, but it appears as if it was a 11th grade player from Lubbock, Texas.
