Penultimate
FM Paul MacIntyre reports that his team, representing the Boylston Chess Club, took second place in last weekend's US Amateur Team Championship (East) in New Jersey -- not quite as impressive as last year's team, but not too shabby.
He didn't mention the names of the other team members, but if you know them leave a comment.

Boylston team wins US Amateur Championship
Congratulations to Boylston Chess Club Members Charles Riordan, Alex Cherniack, Lawyer Times and Charlie Mays who won yesterday's playoff for the 2006 US Amateur Team Championship. In the semi-final round they defeated Team South 3-1 and got by Team West in the finals by a 2.5-1.5 score. Hopefully when Charles has a chance, he'll provide some direct participant commentary on the day's matches.
While the USCF doesn't provide cash prizes for the tournament (presumably to preserve the players' Olympic eligibility :)), I suspect we'll see the new Champions sporting their engraved commemorative watches around the club.
