Tour De World Open 35

For those who hadn't made it I took some very amatuer-level pictures ( as well as handing the camera to my kids to take some snap shots of the event). Mind you I didn't bring a digital camera. These were taken from a disposable "fun saver" type.


Here is a picture of the HUGE hall we were all in


When the pairings went up a flurry of activity occured outside the hall as each section had its own table associated with the pairings.





There was a vendor selling sets, books and everything chess. They had 21 Chronos clocks stolen at this event. I guess even at a chess tournament you can't trust everyone.




A snapshot of a few of the players closest to me ( although I didn't get all) My daughter Nika, fellow blogger, Steve . David P. ( ICC SatanicKitty), My step son, Tyler in a rare moment caught smiling, and of course yours truely.






















All this chess has left me tired.

excellent pics, who needs a digital camera? oh, and why is my cat on your couch?

That is Valentina... our pure bred Maine Coony... She was definitely a warm fuzzy sprawled out on the couch.
