OK Scorpions - Let the Season Begin with a Win !

The rosters for the Miami - Arizona Chess Match are posted and we're set to begin the 2010 USCL season!

Miami Sharks


Arizona Scorpions
GM Julio Becerra: 2628

IM Rogelio Barcenilla: 2583
IM Blas Lugo: 2384

IM Dionisio Aldama: 2399
NM Eric Rodriguez: 2382

IM Daniel Rensch: 2471
FM Charles Galofre: 2316

John Gurczak: 2139


My prediction is for the Scorpions to Sting those Sharks and get a first week UPSET ! (Miami 1, Az.3)

How to do this, you ask?  Well, first Rogelio plays tough and eeks out a draw on board 1. Then Dionisio, playing White, secures our first win over Lugo, the fish. Danny Rensch, of Chess.com fame, will take the game right down to the final minute where he outmaneuvers the Shark and wins - yea! John Gurczak, in his first USCL match and with a rating that is increasing monotonically toward the moon, will play well enough to secure a tie on board 4.

Let's BRING the HEAT!
