CCCR Championship Results: Round #2

The 17th Annual Community Chess Club Championship continued with round 2 on Wednesday evening, October 9th.

Round 2: On board #1 Chess Expert David Petty (left) drew his game with Connor Wagner.

There were many "titantic battles" over the chess boards.  That included a draw between top seeded chess expert David Petty and Connor Wagner, and two exciting matches: David Phelps vs John Frearson (won by David) and Don Stubblebine and Ken McBride (won by Ken).  There were also many other great battles as I am sure the other players would tell us.  The championship carries a lot of fine prestige and there is a lot of excitement and great sport too.  Defending 2013 Community Chess Club champion Abraham Glasser continues on a roll defending his title with 2 points (Abraham won his game vs Jamshed Ahmed in round 2).

Here is the round #2 game with the 2012 Community Chess Club Champion, Abraham Glasser.  Thanks to Abraham for providing the game analysis.


Round 2: Adam DeSantis aka "Mr. Chess" (left) lost to Spencer Dewey.

A TV crew from cable channel 15 stayed for the entire tournament videotaping the event and recording interviews.  This will be part of a television show to air later this year.

Round 2: Here is the classic Titanic Battle: Ken McBride (left) won his game against Community Chess Club President Don Stubblebine after a fierce end game.


Round 2: David Phelps (left) used his chess end game skills with his rook and knight vs rook ending against John Frearson.  John played about 15 moves with just 1 second left on his clock. Thanks to the 5-second delay, the game continued forcing David to prove his mastery of the ending. The game was finished with a checkmate. A look at the chess clock showed that David had 7 seconds left and John had one second.
