Round Two of the Summer 960 Tourney Completed – 072114


Black to move and win!

Let's open with a puzzle. Black to move and win. Make sure you see the two move mate - and the five move win if White finds the best moves.


The solution will appear in the comments in a few days.


As usual, we had some casual games played and a lesson given before and during the tournament games.



We wrapped up Round 2 in style as Aaron J won a tough tussle. Ken T and Ted G also won. Then we had two more entries as both Don J and Tom H got ½ point byes for the first round. Tom H won their game to get them caught up with the rest of the tournament.

Here are the standings:
Ken T – 2 pts
Mike N – 2 pts
Aaron J – 1.5 pts
Gene M – 1.5 pts
Luigi M – 1.5 pts
Tom H – 1.5 pts
Vince V – 1 pt
Luke S – 1 pt
Paul M – 1 pt
Americo M – 1 pt
Zach R – 1 pt
Marcello M – 1 pt
Ted G – 1 pt
Ethan – ½ pt
Don J – ½ pt
Zade K – 0
