Ah closing day. It was a total mudbowl affair. And thin splattery mud at that. It did not deter people fom coming out. And I am talking regular patrons not just hard core fans. Even a dirty day like this could not dampen the dignity of the annual honoring of vets on this holiday. Such conditions also lead to 1 of the most memorable chessmatches.

Under normal circumstance this was an entertaining fight	Today newtonian physics was going to town	I think the little fellow was the only thing keeping him up
Just so you can see the after image	In the midst of a splash zone	At least they weren't holding back	You know for a Royal Guard, he's not exactly a nice guy in this chessmatch
Latimer and Will slip in a new fight	A good knife battle where both men stayed on their feet	Of course it helps when you yield	The field gets slicker as the fights progress
Ole and ta-da	This move was a bit hard to finish	Normally Magnus throws him off the board	But the crowds were screaming "Mud! Mud! Mud!"
