Kenilworth 5-0 Heading into Round 6
Black to play and win (he missed it)
In Round 5 of the US Amateur Teams East, our Kenilworth team made it to Board One with a perfect record. I was able to win my game (see “Board One Blunder-Fest” for details) and I thought at the time it was rather well-played. The rest of the team drew, so we won the match and they will play for the championship in the final round (the only team at 5-0, with Bob Rose on Board Four this time). Though I’m still happy with the result, I’m none too happy with the game, which looks like a blunder-fest under the harsh glare of the computer. But that’s what late round games can be like.
I had to go teach a class (can you believe Rutgers has classes on Presidents Day?), so I wasn’t able to find out what happened in the last round. If anyone knows results, please post them in comments.
