USCL Top Board Honors, Week 4

Here are the USCL ratings leaders after Week 4. Here's a recap of how one is eligible for this list.

1. USCL rating must be published and active -- three lifetime USCL games minimum and at least one this season.
2. Players must have played the majority of their games on that particular board. If they have played the same number of games on different boards, the most recent board on which they played is the one for which they are eligible for the Top Board Honors.

Some may ask why Alex Lenderman, who is 4-0 this year, not on the Top Board Honors. He has played two games on board 2, and two games on board 3. Because he's played on both boards, the most recent one on which he played is the Top Board Honors for which he is eligible -- that was board 2 last Monday. However, the three players listed below for board 2 honors all have higher USCL ratings than he does, and therefore, he doesn't make it.

Board 1


Gold
2609 Sergey Erenburg Baltimore
Silver
2606 Hikaru Nakamura Seattle
Bronze
2598 Jaan Ehlvest Tennessee




Board 2


Gold
2593 Vinay Bhat San Francisco
Silver
2593 Josh Friedel San Francisco
Bronze
2538 Dean Ippolito New Jersey




Board 3


Gold
2463 Sam Shankland San Francisco
Silver
2460 Gregory Braylovsky New York
Bronze
2427 Parker Zhao Queens




Board 4


Gold
2566 Marc Esserman Boston
Silver
2360 Craig Jones Carolina
Bronze
2341 Eric Rodriguez Miami




Note that next week, players will have to have played at least two games this season to be eligible for Top Board Honors.
