#630 Kenilworth Ch. - Best Game Poll

Rather than move this blog now (will probably have to do so soon enough), I have posted a Best Game Poll for the 2010 Kenilworth Championship on my Garden State Chess League site, just below the header.

The nominees are :

Mangion 1-0 Moldovan, from round 2
Moldovan 1-0 Hart, from round 4
Kernighan 1-0 Komunicky, from round 4
Kernighan 1-0 Moldovan, from round 5

I think Mangion's win over me deserves the honor.

You can vote until 4 p.m. next Thursday.

This year's Club Champion & Best U1800 will certainly get a piece of hardware. I don't know how many others will. If you have any old trophies you'd like to donate, please bring them to our next meeting.

If you have a favorite game from this year's championship, please nominate it by leaving a comment.

I'll try to set-up a poll... so the readers can choose which contest is most-deserving. If I can't do it here, one will be placed on my GSCL site.
