Ten players from Chicago took on ten players from Memphis in a double round robin USCF Blitz rated event. In a double robin, each player faces each member of the opposing team twice (one game with white, one with black.) The match consisted of a whopping 200 games. The winner of the match would amass 100.5 game points.
