Hales Corners Chess Challenge XV - Photos!

These are from Ellen Wanek:

"Chess mom", Ellen Wanek, and Robin Grochowski, one of the TDs.  I played
a pick-up game with "Chess mom" who had a son (two?) playing in the Hales
Corners Challenge XV and we drove her youngest boy up a wall with out teasing
about "playing chess like girls."  We actually had a lot of fun.  She checkmated me
but we had a do-over and eventually I queened a pawn and "won" the game
during the "re-do."  Such is the way "girls" play chess :)
Ellen and Manisha Vootkur, who won some Goddesschess prize money in
the Reserve section!
Me bad - I know the young man in the yellow tee shirt is a player from
the Sheboygan area, but I don't remember his name; Ellen Wanek (in blue)
is next to him; in the back row, sorry, I don't remember the player's name,
then there's me, and on the right is Life Master Sheldon Gelbart.
