December Swiss

Christmas came early in Lansing as 30 chess players gathered at
the December Swiss to share their love of the game. Congratulations
to Ratko and Safal on winning what was the strongest Top Section I
have ever directed!   And to Kevin Jackson Sr. for taking first in the
Bottom Section. Finally, John Brauker in the Third Section had the
only perfect score of the day!
