Chris White Drags Them Out

Published in News on Aug 12, 2014

This past weekend, Chris swept into St. John's from Alberta and hosted the city's first chess event for some months. Draggin' Them Out of Da Woodwork was, in fact, the tournament's official name! Congratulations to Nihad Dervisevic for taking clear first with 4/4, and to the two Peters (Noftall and Deal) for sharing second with strong performances at 3/4.

Also an especially warm welcome to our three new members!
