The Annual Border Battle took place this past weekend in Lake Norman, NC.
The featured match was between our Phillipp Lamby and NC Champion and full time chess coach Craig Jones. The champions battled to a even 2-2 but SC fought valiantly but succumbed to the on-slought of the NC players.

Live Games were broadcast and full recaps can be found at schess.org and ncchess.org.
