New Wachusett Chess Club Feature: My Week at the Club by Roger Cappallo

Hello All,
I've decided to take a bit of a leap and to post a video each week on my game from the club. If nothing else, it will give you all a chance to prepare for games with me, exposing the gaping holes in my opening preparations.
If you're interested, here are the links.
Cheers,
Roger
