This year’s Club Champion & Best U1800 will certainly get a piece of hardware. I don’t know how many others will. If you have any old trophies you’d like to donate, please bring them to our next meeting.
If you have a favorite game from this year’s championship, please nominate it by leaving a comment.
I’ll try to set-up a poll… so the readers can choose which contest is most-deserving. If I can’t do it here, one will be placed on my GSCL site.
I have uploaded 2 games from the Kenilworth Kramniks’ 3.5-0.5 loss at West Orange.
