Preswtick Airport Congress Games

[David G Congalton]

With less than six months to go until the Prestwick Airport Congress 2012, I thought I would mark the event with a game from the Open section of the 2011 Congress. This one features the Ayrshire Champion Elliot Frew against Mike Surtees from England. Both were graded 2148 at the time of the event.
