These games were played in the sixth section of our Quad tournament at McHenry Area Chess. Because this was the last section, it received the overflow players, so there were six participants. They were Bill Hayes (1027), Steve Strathman (981), Ben Ryan (863), David Hullinger (581), Joseph Robin (unrated) and new player at McHenry Area Chess Michael Barshai (unrated). Michael won all his games to take first place with three points, and Ben Ryan won second to himself with a score of 2.

To play the games, just click on the moves in the score in the right hand side. Moves in black are the ones actually played in the game, and moves in color are variations and analysis. You can also click on these moves to see the position on the board. Or you can use the control panel under the board to step through each move manually, or the game can be played automatically. In autoplay mode, you have the option of stepping into the analysis variations or bypassing them completely.

Select games by scrolling in the right hand panel, or use the drop down list under the board. The interface is quite natural and easy to get used to. We hope you find it useful and enjoyable.
