First Inter-City Match is Great Success

06/08/2016 by Chess Club

On May 14, Vlad Getman, Jim Johnson, Amran Mardianto, Emily Hu, Micah Donohue, Sandy Breon, Jim Robinson, Costa Getman, Hart Gillespie, Prasad Krishnan, Sawyer McCarthy, Clayton Johnson and Jerry Bergman made the trek north to face a tough Williamsport team in a closely-contested, double-round match.  The State College contingent enjoyed the home team's hospitality and narrowly prevailed in a 14-12 squeaker.  Everyone agreed that they looked forward to a return match to be played in State College in the fall.  Photos courtesy of Williamsport's Jim Cunningham can be found at http://www.williamsportchessclub.org/tournaments/inter-city-chess-match.
