It was odd night with a dead atmosphere. The tables weren't where they usually are. There were just a couple of kibitzers. Players who finished early didn't bother to hang-around. Upsets failed to generate even the slightest buzz and there were no post-mortems.
In the Battle Of The Bloggers, I neutralized The Kenilworthian's Labourdonnais Attack and managed to draw but played poorly from move 13 onward.
2nd round pairings and results:
- Kernighan 1-0 Chen
- Sherer 0-1 Chieu
- Goeller 1/2-1/2 Moldovan
- Hart 0-1 Mangion
- Tomkovich 1-0 Mazzillo
- Sturniolo 0-1 McAuliffe
- Mann 0-1 Agress
- Shiffman 1-0 Komunicky (forfeit)
Joe Demetrick and Don Carrelli received 1/2-point byes. Joe Renna received a full-point bye.

The final game had an interesting opposite-color bishop ending.
Kevin,
Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the Sturniolo-McAuliffe opposite Bs game. Hopefully one of the players will submit it.
