This was an excellent wonderful checkers event I ever had. I am glad I didn't miss it this year.

I was lucky to win both games against Leroy Adams, Earl Morrison and Alan Millhone, and one game against the greatest survivor Laughing Ken Shoesmith. I will put games under other forum session.

Respectfully,  Alex Moiseyev
