Michael Bodek, 6th grade champion, Solomon Schechter School, Westchester, NY
Photo Polly Wright The most top heavy section of the grades was 10th grade, where Marc Tyler Arnold and Alexander Heimann tied for first. They were also the highest rated players in the whole event. They drew each other and won all their other games. Here are both of their games against bughouse champ John Williams. Alex's final position from the last round seems only slightly better for Black, but there must have been a time scramble that decided it in the co-champ's favor. 2712 2714 Grade Nationals Final standings, #1 individual, and #1 team, in order of tiebreak Click here for complete standings Kindergarten- Arun Khemani, Awonder Liang and Zane Ice-6/7, Team- Oak Hall, Gainesville, FL 1st grade-Benjamin Lu-7/7, Team- Oak Hall, Gainesville, FL 2nd grade- Winston Ching-Tze Zeng, William Radak, Richard Qi, Kevin Zhou, Sam Alexander Ferguson, Albert Lu, Sam Witwer, Zachary Chen Tanenbaum, Team- Hunter College, NYC 3rd grade- William Graif, 6.5/7 Team-PS 116, NYC 4th grade- Matthew Zeitlin-7/7,Team- Horace Mann, NYC 5th grade- Kyle Shin, 6.5/7, Team- Horace Mann,Mamaroneck Avenue School and Ramaz School, NY 6th grade- Michael Bodek, 6.5/7 Team- I.S. 318, Brooklyn 7th grade- Nicholas Rosenthal, John Lodger Hughes, Andy Wang-6, Team- I.S. 318, Brooklyn 8th grade- Hengyi Wu, 6.5/7, Team- I.S. 318, Brooklyn 9th grade- Bob Siyuan Shao, 6.5/7, Team- Bergen Country Academies, New Jersey 10th grade- Alexander Heimann and Marc Tyler Arnold, Team- Gilbert High School, Arizona 11th grade- Abby Marshall and Jeffrey Haskel-6/7 Team- Bellaire High School, Texas 12th grade- Toby Boas,6/7 Team- Columbus Alternative High School |
