GAME OF THE WEEK   by Alan Lasser

It’s the annual Wild Snail issue. For the benefit of the new subscribers, these aren’t tame domestic snails, raised on huge snail farms to be harvested for French cuisine. The wild snails slowly, very slowly, very very slowly, creep through your lawn with the intention of biting you in the ankles and winning the chess game. If the Wild Snail Opening can launch any attack at all, it will take some time to get there. The opposition shouldn’t get too excited, the computer thinks that the advantage of the four free opening moves is only worth about a pawn. I give these odds a couple dozen times a year, the foes below had the best chances stomp on a Wild Snail.

Report on 2019 Christmas Party

We had a great time with 25-30 members and families joining our Christmas Party. The bullet tournament afterwards was amended to be a double round robin with just G/1. FM Nelson Castaneda took first with a score of 27.5/30. Joe Bihlmeyer took second with 26/30. Thanks to everyone who came and brought desserts and drinks. Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped cleaned up afterwards.

GAME OF THE WEEK   by Alan Lasser

  It looks like my score in recorded games this year finishes at 588W-144L-41D.

 

The top winners were Magnus Wennemyr-17, Cliff McLaughlin-15, Gus Sayer-14, Zubin Baliga-12, Zeno Kalonaris-10, Rod Hajaj-9 and Tom Shneer-7.

 

 

  Rob Roy's fine playing space in Coventry, CT attracts players from over the border, the Rhode Island teenager Hayes Goodman took first place at last week’s Holiday Party Open.
