Pan American Intercollegiate Championship
Columbus, Ohio
Friday December 26, 1975 through Tuesday December 30, 1975

Virginia Tech Team

2. Dan Love (1594)
3. Cronin Vining (1456)
4. Alan Loper (1079)

After an uneventful trip here, leaving my house at 2:15A.M., arriving 
Hotel 3:00 P.M., we all relaxed for awhile.  A near miss with a tractor 
trailor and skidding, thanks to Dan, we were all relieved when the car 
stopped, of its own accord, at 6:00 A.M., in the sleet.  We were very 
lucky, it just needed gas.  One dollar for the man brining the gas to our 
car!  We've got luck.

Round #1
7:00 P.M. Dec. 26, 1975
Board # 41
U. of Penn. 'B'.

The begging was delayed for no obvious reasons until about 9:30PM.  We all
lost, but play was very good.  We did well considering their team is 362 
points above ours.  We are optimistic about tomorrow.  Dean almost 
overstepped the time control, forgetting that it was for 45 and not 40 
moves.}

We ffinnallly won, but it doesn't mean much.  The top three were unrated 
and the fourth not part of the team.  His game counted only for Alan's 
rating purposes only, we got a in regardless of the outcome, but Alan won 
anyway.  Dan's and my opponents were't very good at all.  Dead had a 
little trouble because he underrated the unrated.  But we got (have) a 
point now!  Had to happen sometime.}

have been smashed early but it never happened.  I couldn't find the bust

Dan and I won without too much trouble, though Dan would have lost but the
guy missed the right line.  Dean played a 2100 and after 15 moves had 15 
minutes left.  All I can say about Alan is "too bad."  He had the most 
easily won endgmae.  Rook and Pawn against rook, but the pawn could not be
stopped.  He managed to drop both the rook and pawn and lost.  Next time.}

Dan got smashed by a guy whose rating is about 200 points higher than that
last published.  The man had already beaten an expert.  I drew a choice 
game.  Even fro word go, very pleasing.  Dean got in time troubel again 
and lost again, he should have drawn easilty but dropped a pawn.  Alan got
another forfeit win.}

{Board 3, Suid - Cinn. 'B'

We won this one from Cinn. 'B'.  Dean played well and drew.  his first 
good, solid showing that paid off.  Dan shamed his opponent with a win all
the way.  My game, well, I just fished around like last round and almost 
blew this one.  It should have drawn at one point, but he was in time 
trouble and I used less than an hour and he lost.  I had two queens for 
the first time.  Alan also pulled through playing very well.  He handled 
the endgame well.

CONCLUSION - December 30, 1975

We had figured our chances mighty slim.  After all one team had 3 points 
after five rounds, twice our score.  But we ended up with 3.5 and they 
never won again.  We were shocked out of our skulls when we won clean top 
1400 and $150!!  Five teams tied for second and won $20 each.  We had 
thought this impossible just before the last round because a teams rating 
had been changed to just below 1500, by estimating the unrateds rating.  
But we didn't know this when we were looking at chances of making money.  
Unfortunatley the team was just over 1500 without counting the unrated and
we took clear first.  Nothing could have shocked us more.
