Inland Empire vs San Diego

Club Match: Inland Empire Chess Club vs San Diego Chess Club

This event was held on 12/16/12 at the SDCC. We tried to pair the players as fairly as possible with people playing others close to their rating, but it was not always possible with so many players and a few last minute adjustments. San Diego won in a squeeker 8 1/2-7 1/2, but everyone had a great time and we thank the Inland Empire club for making the long journey to visit our club. We promise to do it again sometime, with us visiting their club...
