Tillboy continues to lead through day 16, but it was a tough day for Stats1203 as he endured four losses yesterday. Stats1203 is currently winless though 8 games of the tournament. This is definitely a learning experience for the chess neophyte as he was not expected to win. He is certainly appreciative for the experience and tells LC repeatedly that he has fun competing in the club. Next to myself he has the longest tenure in the club  with 8 years and 9 months.  I know what you are thinking , well if he has been in the club that long he is not a neophyte. Well Castlers he’s been in the club that long because he’s been there from the beginning and wanted to support this reporters dream of starting his own chess club. But he really didn’t start to get interested in chess until about a year ago. I’m sure the more  the highly intelligent and sedulous Stats1203 plays, the better he will become.
