Pentathanerd, Day 1: Chess

This week it’s sports, sports, sports at the first-ever Pantathanerd! The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat is in the air along with all the pageantry and tradition of this, the pinnacle of nerdy competition. This week the nerds do battle like ancient nerds of yore in Chess, Foosball, Rubik’s Cube, Boggle, and Mario Kart. Many teams will compete, but only one can be named Pentathanerd Champion.

The games opened yesterday with the Chess event. Sai Xiong got the gold medal in the chess round robin tourney, while Pentathanerd founder Mark Seemann took the silver, and Justin pocketed a bronze medal. Pentathanerd standings after Day One:

1^st Velociraptors – Sai                          1115 points

2^nd Elder Statesmen – Mark S            1000 points

3^rd Perfectonists – Justin                    770 points

4^th Maranerded Chix- Kai                    665 points

5^th Blackberry Fools – Jon Rex          310 points
