Washington CC Match

March 23, 2006

In what promises to be the beginning of a nice tradition, Morgantown CC proved to be perfect hosts when Washington Chess Club paid us a visit. The match was played over two rounds on five boards. We plan to revenge ourselves in the fall.

Front to back: Mike Black plays Musat Crihalmeanu and the Battle of the Davids - Iorio versus Looman. In the back (left) Jens Madsen plays Joe Elsleger and Stuart Keckler (red shirt) plays Mike Felton.
