Blogger Diamondback has posted photos taken by Kevin Chen at the USATE 2009 in parts one and two, including the above picture showing Insufficient Losing Chances before the start of the second round at unlucky table 15 where both of our lost matches happened.
From left to right and in reverse board order, we were my student Ziping Liu, Atlantic Chess News editor Steve Ferrero [captain], NM Mike Shapiro, and NM Jim West, with TD Carol Jarecki adjusting the time clock. Ziping's opponent Danny Rohde has his back to the camera.
Little did I know that I was about to drop my only loss of the tournament to FM Marc Arnold, who went 6-0 on board one.
