St. Joseph Chess Expert Dr. Tony Palmer gave a simultaneous exhibition at Joe Singerling's Spring Lake Summer Chess Camp.  Tony let each kid choose whether to start with White or Black.  The kids had a great time, even though Tony only suffered a single loss in twenty games, to Sara Patton.  For her fine effort, Sara won a certificate for an hour free lesson with "Doctor Tony."
