Pix from QC Grand Prix

These are pictures from yesterday's game/10 round robin at the Dean of Chess Academy in Branchburg.

You will see NM Leroy Dubeck battling IM Richard Costigan. Dubeck's next opponent is Atlantic Chess News editor Steve Ferrero. Finally, TD Ken Thomas resigns his game against me after nearly drawing.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
