A calendar mix-up resulted in a bonus meal at the Massachusetts Go Association’s Fall Tournament on October 20 in Somerville. When
TD Eva Casey discovered at the last minute that the Boylston Chess Club was double-booked, she arranged for the tournament’s first round to be held at the Dragon Garden Chinese Restaurant across the street. The only “catch” was that players would have to lunch at the Dragon Garden, which they gladly did.
” It turned out the Chess Tournament had low turnout and was over at 2pm,” Casey reports, “so we were able to share the chess space for Round 2, and had it to ourselves for Rounds 3 and 4.” A total of 27 players ranging from 20 kyu to 4 dan participated, and the three four-game winners were Steven Wu 4d (in striped blue shirt at front left), John Uckele 10 k and Chia Chan 5k.
