Highlighted Event: Our Previous Action Quads Tournament.


In between Christmas and New Years, we had 35 players show up for our Chess Zone Holiday Action Quads. The event on December 29 was divided into 7 quads and a small Swiss. Please click here for the crosstables.


The top quad ended in a three-way tie between Damian Krotov (2104), Dean Bowler (1972), and Sourish Uday Kavalae (1886). Each player had two draws and a win.


Also notable was in Quad 5, where Isabelle Chelladorai earned a perfect 3.0. She started the event at 1424 but tells CZN that she is excited to now be over 1500. (Her post event rating is 1520.)


Our CZ team was able to gather a number of games from the event, which you can play through below. Send us your games, preferably annotated and as a PGN file or a link to a LiChess study, by emailing dan.lucas@kidchess.com

Seen below is a match between Joshua Chelladorai (1687) & Danny Shapiro (1797) at our Action Quads Tournament on 12/29/24.
