Prospect fell short in its bid to be the only team to beat Barrington for three years running. The Zwolenik brothers, Mike and Max, played their best chess of the year to beat Zach Youman and Cory Hunter on 5th Board and 8th Board and Andrew Berowski continued his hex on Kevin Karande on 2nd Board this time. Unfortunately, those were all the points Prospect could muster. Peter Dimopoulos put up a good fight against 1957 rated Zach Kasiurak on 1st but could not pull off the upset while Kevin Kostka could not quite make his exchange sacrifice pay off on 3rd Board against David Lilien. On 4th Board, Norman Luc kept Tejas Shah on the defensive most of the game. Parth Patel's game on 6th Board could have gone either way before Grant Wagner prevailed in the ending. On 7th Board, Dhruvin Talati obtained a decent postion against Zach Bakal but dropped a knight in a miscalculation.
Rumor has it that Barrington used this blog to scout Prospect, which pleases me no end, particularly since the Prospect players came out of the openings fine.
