Match Report
Grand Rapids Life Master Kevin Czuhai played two rated exhibition matches over the Thanksgiving break.
On Friday, he played Michael Chen. The first game was a spectacular sharp slugfest with Michael finally prevailing. In the second game, Kevin ground down Michael in fine technical style. Word of advice for Michael's opponents at the K-5 Nationals in December--WATCH OUT!!
On Saturday, Kevin played a two game match with Andy Catlin. The first game saw opposite side castling; Andy got careless and then got checkmated. In the second game, Andy trotted out an ancient Steinitz gambit, and Kevin went for a too-speculative piece sacrifice, allowing Andy to tie up the match.
