IIRC you still live in Washington: Here is the USCF list of clubs in your state (multiple pages) http://www.uschess.org/component/option ... temid,198/Jimer Lins wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 5:45 pmCongratulations, mate!

Two more to go after that.
And I am pretty sure I am getting my first category 3 norm. (If category 4 is baron, category 3 is viscount)

Re: Unsolicited Bragging
Update:
The Club Championship was this past weekend.
My rating going in was 1408 and that put me in the middle tournament section (Reserve 1400-1799). I was the third lowest rated person in my section which meant that any win or draw was likely an upset.
Rating is an estimator of strength and there is math for what the expected result should be if two people play based on their rating difference. Below is my four games (round 5 the guy no-showed so I got a win by forfeit). Results of what actually happened in parentheses)
Round 1 vs 1543: 24% win chance, 60% loss chance 16% draw chance (Result:Win)
Round 2 vs 1687: 11% win chance 78% loss chance 11% draw chance (Result: Loss)
Round 3 vs 1622: 16% win chance 76% loss chance 13% draw chance (Result: Loss)
Round 4 vs 1600: 18% win chance 69% loss chance 14% draw chance (Result: Loss)
If I had gotten a draw or better in round 2-5 (ie round 5 guy shows up and we actually play) I would have gotten another norm.
Rating at the end of the tournament was 1411.
