April 23 Marshall CC Under-1400 Trophy Swiss
3SS, G/30. After a wait of one additional week, the first-ever Marshall CC Friday U1400 tournament was held at the newly-renovated Marshall Chess Club on Friday, April 23! Soothing soft-toned walls and brand new flooring awaited the players in the Great Hall as they registered and prepared for battle. At 7pm, four players held the distinction of opening the inaugural event, a three-round, Game/30. In the end, it was the newest Marshall member, Wally J Soto, who vanquished all of his rivals to go 3-0 in what turned out to be an all-play-all quad, winning the First Place Trophy. It was also Wally's first chess tournament after joining the USCF at registration, and he came away with a 1658 rating! Anders Larson won Second Place, and John Adkins won Third Place. The Marshall CC Friday U1400 will be a weekly series, the next event taking place on April 30. This tournament is the ideal place for lower-rated players to hone their skills and eventually sneak up on unsuspecting opposition in Open tournaments held at the Marshall!

Chess Center of New York at the Marshall Chess Club: June 24, 2004
In the early 1990's, young Gata Kamsky was a veritable fixture in New York Thursday Night Action tournaments. His usual "customer" in the last-round was IM Kamran Shirazi, and the spectators were invariably treated to a wild and ferocious melee each week, with "the Shah" finding novel ways of mixing it up right from the beginning, only to succumb inevitably to the boy wonder in the end.
The last time Kamsky made an appearance in the Four Rated Games Tonight tournament was during the 6th Annual Thursday Night Action Championship in June 1993, at the Manhattan Chess club, when he plowed through three 2600's on the way to a climactic last-round duel on Board One with GM Joel Benjamin, which ended in a draw after an amazing Rook and Pawn endgame.

Eleven years later, in the 17th edition of the annual Thursday Night Championship, at the Marshall Chess Club, things did not change all that much. Rated 2784, Kamsky was no doubt surprised to start the tournament on Board Two! After processing his first two Masters, and then drawing with fellow GM Daniel Fridman, Gata defeated the top-ranked player, GM Vitali Golod (2788!), to re-emerge at the top of the chart, tied with GMs Nick De Firmian, Alex Stripunsky and Daniel Fridman.
Two more Alex's won money Thursday, Lenderman and Barnett, who scored 3 points to share the Under 2400 prize.
Ervin Matthew and Darius Mohammad-Pour won their first three games and drew each other to divvy up the Under 2200 Section, while Nick Panico, John Arias, Jimmy Metzger and Gregory Kimmel shared the Top Under 2000 honors with three points a piece.
The 56 player, 15 Grand Prix Point Action Chess Extravaganza on Thursday Night, June 24th featured 18 Masters, including three IMs and five GMs!
