What is the deal with Maxwell? When he reached 1600, I told him he might plateau. I didn't want him to be shocked when it happened. Ignoring my sage prediction, Maxwell won his section in a major tournament. After that happened, my new prediction was that he would hang out around 1700. I guess he wasn't listening again, as his clear 1st place finish in the U-1900 section of the Ohio Chess Congress brought his rating up to 1800. Maxwell will now hang out around 1800 for a while. It is obvious..... right????????
Maxwell with his mother Li-Chun. Wait, that is the trophy that goes to the State champion. Does Maxwell have some plans for the future?
