The tournament in Chicago last month was a lot of fun. In addition to the
usual events there were some out of the ordinary side events which added to
the spice of the tournament.
The highlight of the tournament (for me at least) was the Crystal Beaver event (so named because the trophy is a very nice crystal beaver), the equivalant of the master's event in other tournaments. I was fortunate enough to reach the finals where I played Frank Talbot, a very strong player. The 11-point match was virtually decided in the second game of the match, which I have annotated. Thanks to Sam Pottle, a GammOnLine member, for transcribing the match. Click HERE to see the match. |
