Last year I wrote about the collision between what I sometimes read in chess (Eric Schiller), and what I always read in politics (Daily Kos. Click here for a refresher). Well the connection between that blog and chess has gone a little further, with the holding of the DKos Chess Tournament 2009. It was played online (over a couple of months) and attracted quite a large field.
As it turned out Eric Schiller won the event, although any one of 4 players were in with a chance going into the final round. Full coverage by Superbowlxx can be found here.
Here is the final decisive game of the tournament.
