FIDE Thursdays--Hilkevich Continues to Dominate

In round 5 of the Marshall Chess Club Fide-rated Thursday night tournament Zahir Hilkevich defeated Fritz Gaspard and improved to an impressive 4.5/5. The only player who can still overtake Zahir is MCC member and rising star Raven Sturt with 4/5 after a win with black against Sarathi Ray. The top player rated under 2000 is William Fisher with 2 points, despite having played only one game. Will commutes from Philadelphia just to play at the Marshall Fide Thursdays!
