Welcome Chiloe, Ethan, Brendan, Gregory and Therin to the LCCC!
And current club kids; Luca, Marcello, Drake, and Ethan - thanks for being here.
But we also need to thank all the organizations and parents that 'spread the message' about the event. Without the gorilla marketing of volunteers, we never would of got the word out about this fun event.
Hopefully the attendance will double for the next event. But remember the Club is open for chess every Monday - so stop on in.
We had sixteen players total for the event. Casual games were played and some private tutoring was given.
We had a lecture planned, but the teacher (me) was sick with the flu and was not able to give it on this night. Next Kid's Night on June 12th, we will have that lecture then.
In the meantime, here is a game played by Jason, our resident Expert. It is a victory by Jason over a Master, played over the internet.

The game is even at this point according to Igor3000.

12. O-O-O Nd5
13. Nxd5 Bxd5
14. c4 Bb7
15. Rhg1 Nc6
16. Qc3 Qe7?
Black makes the first error as 16. ....Rf7 was needed to stay even. (+1.4)
17. d5 exd5?
Errors usually come in bunches as lesser moves are made to fix the earlier mistake. The ugly 17. ..... Ng8 keeps the game where it was instead of increasing White's lead to (+2.3).
18. cxd5 Ne5
19. Bd4 Rae8??
This error loses by force. 19. ......Ng6 was the only move to hold. (+4.3)
20. f4? Ng6
White misses 20. Bb5! winning material by 20. .....Ng6 21. Rde1, Qd8 22. Bxe8, Rxe8 winning the exchange.
