Joseph Anthony Kellam (Unrated->1998) - A sensational pereformance

Cardenas won another tournament in SWCC, this time game in 29, Winter Blitzzard III with 3/3. However, there is a joint winner, named Joseph Anthony Kellam who started the tournament as Unrated and finished with 3/3 with sensational 1998 end rating (quick) ! Only time will tell whether this is an exception or the rule. However, I wish him all the best. It seems that all the 6:00 pm training sessions and other initiatives of SWCC folks to draw new people to chess is paying off.

I had a funny tournament - arrived late and missed the first round, then blundered and lost second round and finally won the last round. No regret as this won't affect the main rating and I wanted to play chess for fun which I did.
