In
the Shadow of the Arch
By Jim
Egerton
St. Louis has always been the gateway for those seeking
their fame and fortune by going west. Now the city is
leading a revival of one of the oldest competitions
known to man. For a fortnight in May, twenty-four of
the best American CEO’s (Chess-playing Executive
Officers) competed against each other to determine a
champion. The CEO’s implemented their strategies
with astute planning and ruthless tactics. They rallied
their employees (pieces), evaluated and undertook projects,
attacked the competition, defended their enterprises,
engineered fortresses and even invested when necessary
with timely sacrifices, all in the pursuit of the championship.
For

look at the 2010 US Chess Championship see In
the Shadow of the Arch.
