Toronto NABC

Mini-Spingold II (0-1500)
Knockout Teams
The team captained by Yuan Chen
pounded Jean La Traverse's squad in
the first half of the 0-1500 Mini-Spingold II KO Teams to generate a lead
that even the most resilient of opponents would be hard-pressed to
overcome.
Chen was up 53-1 after the first
quarter and 102 to 24 at the half. The
final score was 166 to 90.
Toronto resident Chen played with
Wenbo Zhang, Mississauga ON; Sam
Yu, Waterloo ON; and Kaiyu Qian,
Markham ON.
La Traverse's teammates were
Josette Levesque, Outremonte QC;
Richard Collette, Valleyfield QC; and
