NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

Misha K, Harvard Square Au Bon Pain Chess scene

regular plays Seth Lieberman. Seth took both games.

This is Misha's first time to the BCC Cambridge.

Welcome Misha! You have earned a 1640 rating for 
your efforts tonight!
 [In my games vs Seth Lieberman, I

can normally notch one game.  This time, Seth uncorked

a brilliant combination in each of our games to take 2

points clear.  Bravo, Seth! You are improving steadily!]
