                                                  2011 Club Championship Participants
                                                  Crosstable complete on USCF website here:  Crosstable.  James Long won the 2011 Club Championship.  James' only defeat came at the hands of David Luscomb, who unfortunately, had to drop out of the tournament.  Ed Karabiev defeated Luscomb (see game here), but Ed was defeated by James making James the Club champion.    See the game score between Ed Karabiev and David Luscomb below played April 15, 2011 which created a 3 way tie for first at the time.  Please note that 2012 will mark the 40th year of the club.   We hope the quality of the opponents and participation for next year's championship is represented as well as this year's.  Congratulations to James Long for earning the title for 2011.  Please note that James was co-champion in 1999 along with Jim Baumlin.
