WHITE VS. BLACK

White won this one. These two gentlemen did not need the timer on the table. This match was played at a furious pace, which is what intrigued me. I tried to capture that with the motion here.

I like white's position here with control of the center and a solid attack forming on black's king side. Great capture. voted.

Excellent - The left guy looks so well dressed to be doing this, unless it's lunch hour. Sandy
