Dec 17,2013, Watertown, NY. Dr. David Kistler won game one of the 2013 Club Championship Match and needs only a draw in game 2 or 3 to win his fourth club championship. Dr. Kistler, USCF rated 2086, is undefeated at the club in 2013 with a record +31-0=2, including seven wins in 7 games against Mr. Prieto, USCF rated 1866 ( +22-8=8). Dr. Kistler and Mr. Prieto each won semi-final matches against number 4 seed Don Klug and number 3 seed Robert Kratzat respectively, to advance to the finals. The Match will take a holiday break and resume January 7, 2014. Mr. Adolfo Prieto must win the remaining two games to claim the club championship for 2013. That appears to be a very tall mountain to climb, since he has just one win against Dr. Kistler since 2009. Game 1 moves follow.
