#983 USATE - Day 1

On Day 1 of the 2012 USATE, The Kenilworth Chess Club Niners lost to May the Odds Be Ever In Our Favor 4-0 and defeated Kings By Day, Queens By Night 3.5-0.5.

I lost to a young master in the opener and got a match-clinching win in the nightcap. The latter was my longest game-ever: 4 hours and 8 minutes!
