Kindergartener Mehmet Yilanli just swept the U-1000 K-12 field of the Clinton Elementary Tournament with a perfect 5-0 score. This result drove his rating from 668 to 980. A remarkable fact is that in his school system, Mehmet was not allowed into Kindergarten because he was a little too young for the birthday cutoff, so he has to attend Kindergarten in another school district. Wish him luck, as well as the many CCL players, that are heading to Maryland for the National Grade Level Championships this weekend.
