Cerveza + Chess = Success!
Fun was had by all at the Cinco de Mayo celebration, “Cerveza and Chess-The Silicon Valley Chess Tournament.” Thirty-five people showed up to compete in double elimination games of chess. A few others showed up for the food and beer, to cheer on their friends and to play Beer Pong.
Muchas gracias to Erik Allebest and Jay Severson, founders of Chess.com for keeping the tournament in ‘check’ and to AOL for hosting and feeding us. YUM!
