    This should jinx it! We plan to broadcast at least one board tonight starting at 7:30. If things go well we'll broadcast boards one & two. 

    The link to the live games is HERE. There are two test games posted.

    If you missed it Live last night, check out the game between Keith Eubanks and Paul Farb.  Keith launched a vicious kingside attack that Paul couldn't find a defense for.

    A nice combination Keith Eubanks finished with and a nice win by James MacDougall for Ashland XVIII Round 4.
