Game Of The Week
This week's game comes from the Colorado Springs Chess Club's (CSCC) team challenge against the Air Force Academy Chess Club (AFACC). We haven't played in a team tournament since 2007 when we beat the Fort Collins Chess Club to win the Mountain States Chess Club Match Champions trophy:

Back then, we brought our top 8 players to face off against Fort Collins' top 8 players. This time, the AFACC didn't have as many players and most were not USCF-rated. So, we tried out a different format. However, we still put our trophy on the line. If their team could score more point versus the field of entrants than our team, they would take home the prize.
The AFACC team was made up of Erik Svoboda, Ben Oldemeyer, Hannah Schroeder, Daniel Soto, Hunter Street, and James Stefo.
The CSCC team was made up of our top 6 Supporting Members: Earle Wikle, Mike Smith, Ayush Vispute, Clint Eads, Paul Anderson, and Mark McGough.
Fortunately, our Supporting Members were up to the task by scoring 16.5 points to out pace the higher-rated, unaffiliated players (12.0) and the AFACC (9.5). Thanks to all who participated and made this special event a success. See you in 12 years!
