February 23, 2012 - El Grande

Location: Barton

Players: Dan (1038), Brett (1031), Mark (1002)

In a fun game in which each player took a turn leading, Dan gained control when it mattered most (at the very end).  At various points, it looked like Brett (early on) and then Mark (mid-game) might run away with it.  But Dan's defensive tactics proved successful in the long run.

Result:
1) Dan (122)
2) Brett (114)
3) Mark (112)

Ratings Results:
Dan (+14) = 1052
Brett (+0) = 1031
Mark (-14) = 988
