NJKO Floor Knights; Inventors Outwitted

In the first week of the U.S. Chess League season, the New Jersey Knockouts floored the New York Knights, while the Philadelphia Inventors were outwitted by the Tennessee Tempo.

Congratulations to IM Dean Ippolito for winning the Game of the Week!

"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
