Our inaugural 4 Games @ Poughkeepsie got off to a slow start, with only four players showing up for the 7 PM start. Relative newcomer Rudolph Van Dommele won the converted quad with 2.5/3 total. Ernie Johnson finished with 2/3. Our next 4-game event is January 8, again starting at 7.
For those that might be confused by this new pilot format, we start these 4-game events at 7. If you cannot make it for 7, you can come at regular time and still play three games (1/2 point bye for round 1). Those that have to leave early (parents with kids) can do so after round 3, which finished today at 9:45 PM. The time control for all rounds is Game 20 with 10 second delay.
