Winter League Update! The Don Stubblebine Memorial chess league started on Monday, January 6th, 2025.  Joe Sarratori - AKA "The Strongest Chess Player in Rochester" - won his game against Wayne Jarvis.  Their league game was the last to finish and was spectacular! Joe made a big comeback after what Don Stubblebine would have called 'A Titantic Battle'.
