These games were played by Daryl Drew (1552) at our March 2005 Championship tournament. Daryl drove in all the way from Indiana to make his first appearance at one of our tournaments. Daryl only lost to top seeded and ultimate McHenry Area Champion Jim Marshall (2116) in his first round pairing, and was held to a draw in his last round against the Junior Second Place finisher Matt Pivovitz. Regrettably, the only score we have of any of his games for this page was his loss. We hope Daryl found our tournament worthwhile, and will make the long drive out to play with us again in the future.

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.
