CCCSA held the 75th Reverse Angle Tournament on Saturday, August 12. 60 total players competed for the always guaranteed $850 prize fund in three sections: Top, Under 1800, and Under 1400.
TOP
18 players entered the top section, including National Masters Tianqi "Steffen" Wang (2379), Daniel "DJ" Cremisi (2333) and South Carolina's Klaus Pohl (2201). It was a highly competitive section, as they were joined by plenty of Experts and A players.
The top seeds proved their mettle, as Wang and Cremisi scored 3/3 and $125 each. Vishnu "Can I call my dad?" Vanapalli (1954), Ziyang "many sisters" Qiu (1936), and Aditya "draw?" Shivapooja (1770) all scored 2/3 and won top Under 2000 honors, good for $17 each.
