NEW JERSEY’S REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE DENKER, BARBER AND NGIT

Christopher Wu became our Denker representative with a convincing 5-0 score, including a win over former state champion, Alexander Katz.  John Michael Burke and Praveen Balakrishnan had a tough, long draw in the fourth round this morning then went n to win their last round games with final scores of 4.5 then went through three rounds of blitz (G/15, G/10 and finally G/5) before John Michael finally triumphed.  Both boys (only 11 and all ready Masters!) acted with the greatest politeness and respect for each other throughout.  Several weeks ago, we crowned Kimberly Ding our representative to the NGIT.
