The 2023 Fourth Quarter Open Number 4 Embassy Chess has concluded.
ScaryMonster won the deciding game. It ended with a Queen and Bishop end game and the Pawns deciding
it when ScaryMonster infiltrated kurtovec's position after kurtivec captured an offered Pawn on move 52. I
originally thought ScaryMonster's move 52 was not good, but after looking the position over it was a great
move and it did not matter how kurtovec captured the Pawn his defense was going to be breached.

The position at the end of move 51
Embassy Chess (ScaryMonster vs. kurtovec)

Thank you all for playing and watching the tournament. I have not yet organized a new tournament.
Let me know if you're interested. I'll see about getting a new one going soon.
