Defending Club Champion, Chess Master Lev Paciorkowski, won his game with 2010 Club Champion and Club President Don Stubblebine in a titanic battle. |
Only two of the chess players: Lev Paciorkowski and David Phelps
will be entering the 4th round with 3 points. The defending club champion, Lev Paciorkowski, is still in position to repeat. However, there are still 2 games to go, and there will be challengers attempting to secure that title and become the new club champion. The club champion traditionally gives a chess simultaneous the following year.
