Mercer Island Chess Winners

The winners of last Saturday's All-Mercer Island Chess Tournament are now posted online, organized by section.  That posting lumps Kindergarten and 1st grade together, so just for fun I dumped the results into a spreadsheet to see how they would have ranked if we combined grades.  Here are the top 30  measured by K thru 3rd grade:

 

1   ZHU, JASON 1026
2   EMANUELS, GRIFFIN 950
3   DIERKES, CHRISTOPHER 942
4   SHEN, DANIEL 931
5   ELLIOTT, CHRISTOPHER 899
6   PEHRSON, ADAM 895
7   TAM, OWEN 833
8   BERNSTEIN, OWEN 813
9   BOKSEM, MAX 809
10   SCHMIDT-WARNECKE, CHRIS 791
11   HASSALL, JACK 782
12   PADGETT, MATTHEW 777
13   QUE, JASON 761
14   BOKSEM, LUKE 735
15   KELLY-HEDRICK, IAN 726
16   BAUMAN, HUNTER 707
17   CUMMINGS, CAMERON 707
18   CHANSKY, MATTHEW 704
19   HIRSCHOWITZ, DAVID 701
20   BATALOV, PAVEL 693
*21   CHANSKY, JOSH 692
*22   BENSON, ALEXANDER 692
23   KIM, ERIC 682
24   NOONE, THOMAS 676
25   MAJEWSKI, DYLAN 668
26   PARK, JOSHUA 640
27   SPRAGUE, NATHAN 631
28   BURGER, DAWSON 616
29   ZIMMER, MATTHEW 613
30   BENSON, NATHANIEL 595

 

The surprising result is how many kindergartners are on this list.  If this keeps up, Mercer Island will have a very strong high school chess team in about ten years.
