Photos from Marshall CC Game/30

Here are photos from Sunday's game/30 Swiss at the Marshall Chess Club.

In round two, Gabor Schnitzler lost to Andrew Ryba.

Meanwhile, Michael Bodek drew against Steadroy Lloyd, and Polly Wright was defeated by Alex Eydelman.

In the same round, Lamel McBryde won his game against Mauricio Camejo.

First place went to IM Oliver Barbosa who won all five of his games, including a third round victory against me. Here Barbosa is seen defeating Alex Eydelman in round four.

"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
