Arlo put on an extraordinary performance across six games against opponents of all ages. Beating a number of seasoned players, all of whom are rated 3-400 higher than him, Arlo ranked sixth out of 44 players. As a result, his own rating will go up to 1300+ which he is very excited about!

And that’s not all - Arlo also took home the “Rating Prize” which is awarded to players who excel beyond their rating. What a formidable achievement!

Here is a photo of Arlo, standing proudly with Grandmaster Pete Wells who competed in the Open Section.

Well done Arlo, we are very proud of you!
