Fisch wins Michigan Senior
With games commentary from Douglas Fick

• Beane Jr/Williams: Black's 25th. After missing a shot, Black goes material down and makes a wild pawn lunge that works when White fails to protect his kingside.
• Vandivier/Roth: Black's gross 14th move leads to a standard K-side crush for Don.
• Grzegorczyk/Bailey: This entire game could be titled "Ignorance is bliss" as Greg keeps finding blunders and Ron keeps missing ways to exploit them.
• Mills/Kampfert: White makes a single error in a sharp Two Knights and gets crushed. Very similar to the tactic Fischvogt used in his last round game with Grzegorczyk IMHO.
• Bailey/Smith: Starting with his 38th move Greg eats 3 poisioned pawns and lives to tell about it when his opponent misses multiple wins in TT and takes a repetition. Couple different puzzle position possibilities.
• Kampfert/Williams: White's 21st. Not only does White miss the shot the very next move he makes a huge blunder and lets his opponent tear him to pieces.
• Lowery/Beane Jr: White's 31st and 33 moves. A couple nice shots go by but White wins anyway when Joe accidently drops a bishop shortly after.
