Two Hendon Tigers recently put in great performances in tournaments!
Kishan Pattni scored 3/5 in the U175 section of the Barnet Chess Congress last weekend. This included wins in 3 (!) and 8 moves, and victories over players graded 168 & 165.
Considering Kish’s grade is currently only 139, this was a really excellent result!
Meanwhile, at the recent South of England Junior Championships, Hendon’s Frank Sabin came equal 2nd in the U14 Closed tournament.
With a TPR of 203(!), Frank showed how much he has improved recently, defeating a number of well-known juniors over the 5 rounds, and losing only to the tournament winner Felix Jose Ynojosa.
Here’s the (rather small to fit it in) cross-table!
