Sunday, June 25th marked yet another successful scholastic tournament in the Chess Club and Scholastic Center (CCSCSL) monthly tournament series. In order to compete in this Summer Showdown chess tournament, 92 students convened at The Center for Global Citizenship on the SLU campus to determine the best of the best in June.
Grandmaster Ben Finegold tours through two games from the 19th century. McDonnell has pawns thrown at him by La Bourdonnais in the first unofficial world championship match and Paul Morphy executes a smothered mate on an oddly-named opponent.
Grandmaster Ben Finegold takes your submissions. The more love you give him, the more love he gives you... Nah. Send in your games to Info@SaintLouisChessClub.org.

An interesting topic often argued about by chess players of all levels: What is the best time control for top level chess? I think it is important that both fast and slower chess are played by the world’s elite.
Grandmaster Ben Finegold shares his endgame victories with the class. An endgame against a young Eric Hansen is also explored.
