Mongolian GM
Tsegmed Batchuluun dominated the
Bay Area Chess New Year's Championship, scoring five wins and only one draw despite being paired with four blacks. He impressively knocked off the top two seeds, GM
Parimarjan Negi and GM
Yaroslav Zherebukh, both rated over 2600 FIDE. Scheduled for the first three days of 2016, the tournament drew a relatively modest turnout of 127 participants to a new venue, the Marriott at the Oakland Convention Center.
Next:
Golden State Open in Concord on January 15-18. This event has attracted an average of 280 players over the past six years, making it the
largest annual adult chess event in Northern California.
Advance entry list.
Be there!

Post a Comment
I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:
1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.
I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
