With a pre-event rating 381 points higher than his closest competition, Jayadeep Boya was a perfect 4.0 at the 2015 Washington Scholastic.

The 100-player event was organized December 12 by the Greater Peoria Chess Federation affiliate, primarily in four sections.

Also in the Junior High Section, Jacob Davis and Aswath Ramesh posted 3.5's, drawing head-to-head in the final round. Davis boosted his rating seven points while Ramesh went up by 88.

In the 24-player Elementary Section, Adithya Sathyamurthy eclipsed 1000 with her perfect 4-0 tally, jumping 86 rating points. Anish Deshpande was 3.5 with a second round draw, hitting an even 1000, up 63 points.

32 players competed in the Upper Primary section with Alex Fei and Owen Zhang tying for top honors, both with 4-0 results. There was a remarkable seven-way tie for third place at 3.0/4 with Seth Parent, Josh Wang, Sadkrith Malladi, Quentin Desanto, Harshal Joshi, Ricardo Padilla and Jonathan Liang.

The Lower Primary saw 15 players and only a single perfect score from Michael Li. Tying for second at 3.0/4 were the foursome of Arul Shegaonkar, Pragyan Misra, David Liu and Sukhi Doddi.

Lest you think Michael had an easy route to victory, he had to defeat Sukhi in round 2, Arul in round 3 and David in round 4.

This was Pregyan's very first rated tournament and Sukhi's second rated event.

Theresa Burra was a half-point back at 2.5 with two wins and a first round draw.
