2008 United States Chess League

August 13, 2008 • General

Greetings from hot and humid Japan. I will now confirm that I will be playing in the US Chess League for the Seattle Sluggers in the 2008 edition. Last year, I played for the New York Knights. We had some memorable matches and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Despite my rather mediocre performance throughout, the team did reasonably well before we lost to Boston in the semifinals. The main reason I have decided to play for Seattle as opposed to New York is the fact that I am residing in Vancouver right now, so it makes sense to play for Seattle which is only a few hours away. This year, I will try to do better than last year and I look forward to having a good result and Go Sluggers!

Cheers,
Hikaru!
