The "fox", a mobile unit of the BUCC (on inline skates) and our board 1 at the amateur team east, is graduating this winter from BU.

FM Bill Kelleher won the tournament with 4 points. Bill is a double master, having earned his masters in history from BU. Bill didn't change his shirt during the tournament. I just lost the disc with more pictures of him and substituted on from the New England Open.

Three ways of looking at a chess board.

Allan Ong, the TD of all but the 1st BU Open, organized the series.

Game 60 resolves to blitz. Chris Desmarais concentrates.
