Lots of players and books and other chess parafanalia. - 2/16/2008 The USCF bookstore has a great selection of books and equipment. At least this sign thinks so. - 2/16/2008 Yogesh is here along with most of the rest of the New Britain Bad Bishops. - 2/16/2008
This was my friend Mac Gomes first tournament. He used to play with me at the Central Chess Club. - 2/16/2008 Dennis Prawira seems to be in a good mood. Could it be that he is ranked 2700, and ready to play some chess. - 2/16/2008 Hiton hotel. - 2/16/2008

Andres smiles as New Britain Attack moves behind the ropes where the top boards play. - 2/17/2008 Good chess players come in all ages. Derek is stong enough not to underestimate a younger player. - 2/17/2008 There are also quite a few strong female players, although I have confidence that Doug Fiske can win easily in this position. - 2/17/2008
Martin Garcia and John Nitz have both castled as good Castle Crusaders should. - 2/17/2008 Yogesh and Chris Jensen checking up on the New Britain Endgamers. - 2/17/2008 Very tough position. Probably a draw, but it can still be difficult to play it right. - 2/17/2008
