A quartet of young players continued a new trend at the WCC by posting a pair of major upsets & a pair of upset draws
against their far more experienced opponents in the second round of the 2022 Martin Laine Memorial Tournament.
Topping the list was Shawn Xu with his 213 point upset win over Class B rated, Jim Donahue, at board 4. Upset draws of 300 points or more between players,
were provided at boards 8 & 10 by Kkrishna Narayanan & Frank Cao who split points with veterans Ken Gurge & George Jordy respectively.
Rounding out the group at board 13 was Huaigu Cao with his huge 451 point upset win over Mark Wheeler.
These four upsets, a full 25% of the 16 pairings for round 2 will undoubtedly put higher rated & more experienced players
on notice that new young players can at times be tough.
