Roman Levit Memorial, Round 4
NM Alex Betaneli is in firm control of this year’s edition of the Roman Levit Memorial, with the only perfect score after 4 rounds. Gary Aronovich is a half-point back, while Steffen Thieme, Anthony Parker, David Cardenas, and Sou Her are all tied for 3-6.
This year’s Levit is experimenting with shorter time controls and more games (seven rounds at SD/60 time controls) in response to some player’s requests for longer rounds. (More games means a single mistake is no longer enough to take a player out of contention, because there will be ample opportunity to regain form.)
