It was certainly a special night, with lots of great banter during the games! By popular vote, the Best Banter-er award went to Orsen van der Byl. Finally, to add to the occasion we had an honorary guest, GM Kayden Troff. Kayden has nearly completed his two-year service in Australia as a missionary, and will return to the US in less than two weeks. It was great to see our members challenge (unsuccessfully) Kayden to some blitz.
