The February 15, 2009 Edition of the Chess Carnival was very successful in spite of being hosted at chessvine this time around. A big thanks goes to all the participants and the winners in each category are presented below.

Annotated Games

George Duval presents New York 1924: Savielly Tartakower and the Bronx Zoo

Chess Culture and Politics

Mark Weeks presents Useless Stats/Qs about Ratings

Chess Events

James R. West presents Jim West On Chess: Guido van der Werve at Marshall CC

Humor

David Evans presents Good luck, bonne chance, buena suerte!

Opening Theory

Rolling Pawns presents >Are you afraid of the Marshall attack?

I look forward to the next Edition but Jack Le Moine hasn't sent me a deadline or to be honest told me if Chessvine is hosting the carnival again. When I know something I'll pass it on! I enjoyed reading the submissions and everything went very smoothly except for the plethora of poker entries. Poker enthusiasts can take comfort ... your entries were deleted without being read.
