Washington CC Match

September 28, 2006

In the return match between the Washington and Morgantown chess clubs, we suffered another defeat with the total score of 11-7. In spite of the clear score, the match was once again closely contested, and with a little more luck in decisive situations we might even have tied the match. Next time! There were many heroic fights, but newcomer Eric Bowen stood out as the only Morgantown player with two wins.

The Morgantown team still smiling. From left to right: Xiaowen Wu, Mike Felton, Musat Crihalmeanu, Shih-Houng Young, Manuel Lopez, Ted Webb, Jens Madsen, David Iorio, and Eric Bowen.
