Six players met at Barrows Hall, the home of the Engineering Dept. at UMaine, for three rounds of action chess. Max Berube continued his climb up the ratings ladder in March. He defeated Andy Bryan, Yuri Riabkov, and Dan DeLuca to raise his rating to 1752 and winning streak to ten games. The current UMaine sophomore has been on a hot streak of late with a leap of almost 300 points over the past year.
Dan DeLuca and Yuri Riabkov both finished with two wins to tie for second. Haley Deluca Lowell, a John Bapst freshman, scored a victory over her teammate Matt Spear, and then defeated her former coach and teacher, Andy Bryan, in a Quick rated match. The six players enjoyed a very comfortable setting in a very impressive building thanks to former Bapst parent Scott Collins. The evening event helped raise money for the John Bapst chess club.
