2009 Inter-Service Chess Championship Begins
This year, for the second year in a row, I’ve had the privilege of competing in the Inter-Service Chess Championship. This year it is hosted by the Army at Ft. Benning, Georgia. MGySgt Adkins and I, Cpl Carrelli, make up the Marine Corps Team. Each branch fields a team of six; however, for the last two years, only myself and MGySgt Adkins were able to compete for the Marines.
After Round 2, the team standings are….
7.5 - Air Force
7 - Army
4 - Navy
1.5 – Marine Corps (2 players only)
My record for the day is 0-1-1. A poor start for me this year compared to last where I ended the first day with a full two points. I look forward to post one of my better games to be played!
Go Army!!!! Back in my active duty days I tried to enter this tournament and was qualified but no one help me out because the internet was not available and the information was lacking from the local MWR's.
So I want to echo that it is a real privilege for me to participate in this wonderful program and enjoy it. I have a great story to tell my grandkids. Good luck Carrelli beat out MGySGT. Thanks for shedding some light on the MonRoi blackout.
