Loyola vs. AMATS - Jan 26th

Yesterday the Loyola Chess Team again traveled downtown this time to play AMA Tornado Snakes. AMATS hasn't been having their best year, however they recently obtained a new addition to their team - Frank Johnson. Frank, a 1930 USCF player, recently moved from Georgia and now works in the IT department at AMA. This new addition adds much more strength to AMATS's team. Unfortunately, AMATS was unable to obtain a 5th and 6th board, which resulted in our team having a 2-0 start.
Match #6 Loyola vs. AMATS
Board 1, Adam Strunk vs. Frank Johnson 0-1
Board 2, Alex Strunk vs. Fred Furtner 1-0
Board 3, James Alexander vs. Ben Meyer-Abbott 1-0
Board 4, Jonathan Plotner vs. Monroe Harper 1-0
Board 5, Loyola vs. Forfeit 1-0
Board 6, Loyola vs. Forfeit 1-0
The match ended up 5-1, which amounted to a victory for the Loyola Chess Team. Our record is now 3-2-1. Our next match is against Hedgehogs. Wish us luck!
