Daniel Honeycutt kept his score perfect with a quick checkmate in Round 4. Matthew Fishbein fell to a two-time national champion in his fourth round while Wes Parker and Omar Khan also fell from the ranks of the unbeatens. The overall showing of the Mainers has been very steady considering their ratings.
The John Bapst team has scored 15.0 out of a possible 28.0 while Cape has scored 12.0 out of 20.0. The Cape U1250 team is in 13th and the Bapst U800 team is in 20th. Deer Isle U1000 is in 15th and their U750 is 9th.
The fifth round is the endurance round as everyone here has had a long day of chess. It will be the battle of wills more than ever. The K12 Championship section is loaded. Margaret Bryan is playing her highest rated opponent to date, an 1803 rated player with only 1.0 points! Aaron Spencer's opponent is 1859, Zach Smith's is 1699, and Kurt Eyerer's is 1571.
I'll get as many of the Round 5 results out as I can tonight.
