This week's tournament results: January 2-4, 2014

There's "snow-way" you can stop chess players from playing chess no matter what the weather!

At the Community Chess Club of Rochester's (CCCR) Thursday night club meeting, we had 6 fearless chess players show up during the freezing cold Rochester snowstorm.

From left to right: Daniel Johnston, Adam DeSantis, Ken McBride, Abe Glasser, Mike Lionti (holding the camera) and Neil Parry (not pictured) arrived for the weekly chess battles. Ice, snow and extreme cold can't hold back these chess players!

Here are the CCCR results for Thursday Jan. 2nd:

Abe Glasser won against Adam DeSantis
Mike Lionti and Neil Parry drew
Daniel Johnston won against Ken McBride
