November Calvin Challenge and Scholastic

Report by Andy Catlin

Lansing Expert Matt Hassen shared first with Grand Rapids Life Master Kevin Czuhai.  There was a three-way pile-up atop the reserve section, with Kerry Price, Nicholas Bos, and David Meyer all at 3 out of 4.  Corbin Johnson and Charlotte Deimel topped the scholastic section.

Here’s an interesting position that arose in Czuhai-Catlin, after 53 Kg7-g8.  Can you find Black’s best move, which I missed during the game?
