Stanley produced his best-ever performance in a classical chess event at the recent Capital Classic.
Going into the final day with two wins and two losses, Stanley finished strongly, winning both of his remaining games. His final-round victory was particularly impressive, coming against a much higher-rated opponent (1854).
This excellent finish secured Stanley a share of first place in the U1700 division, scoring 4 points from 6 games.
Congratulations to Stanley on a fantastic result!
