3rd Patrick D. Hart Memorial Scholastic results

For the third year straight, the Patrick D. Hart Memorial Scholastic was held in conjunction with the Snowstorm Special.  The tournament was created in memory of one of our stalwarts of chess in Charleston and is intended as a beginners tournament to bring more players into the game.  This year's edition had nine young players, with seven joining the SCCA and three joining the USCF for the first time.  When the last round was finished, Charlez Luczaj from Hanahan won first prize outright with four wins.  Hannah Whatley of North Augusta took 2nd prize on tiebreak over Vikram Krishnamurthy of Lexington, both with three points.  Congratulations to the trophy winners and all the participants who gave their best effort towards claiming a prize.

Chess Records

I just stumbled across this site and noticed how unusual some of these positions are. In one of the games white castles twice. I am next to certain this is illegal, but perhaps some of these positions arise out of unreported circumstances - unreported draws, etc. I was surprised that legitimate rook promotions were not more common. The record being 5 rooks on the board at once. In that position a queen promotion allows white to force stalemate. Anyways, enjoy.
