The final crosstable is HERE.
One of these is a win for White the other is a Draw. Find out this week on Casual Night. Come out for some "Stress Free" chess. Daniel Smith and Erik Murrah have a couple presentations. Check the previous post for details. Both will be very interesting to class players, and even to players that have no class!

The Club's Jr. players continue to roll through the SC Scholastic Grand Prix Series as Ben Caiello continued his domination with a 4-0 performance in the fifth round of the series today. Dan Caiello finished tied for 2nd with Tommy Leonardi from Spartanburg in what is fast becoming a three way battle for the top spot in the State. Hot on their heals is one of our youngest club members, Chris Aluri, who went a perfect 4-0 in the K-5 section of today's Grand Prix.
The final crosstable is HERE.
Keep an eye on these players at the State Scholastics coming up in a couple weeks.

If you've read this far check out the Columbia Chess Shop . It's active and you can order from it. I'm still fiddling with it so items/colors may change.
Finally, if anyone knows who put this Shop up please let us know. I've checked with the Powers That Be at SC Chess and it's a mystery??!
