| Alisa Melekhina Simul January 31, 2010, Pitman, NJ Photographer, Photo Editor & Copy Writer: Stephen Arnold Dick |
| TO SAC OR NOT TO SAC? Deep in thought over what turned out to be a very unsound sacrifice is none other than yours truly. Hey, stop laughing, Columbus took a chance. (photo by Tony Norris) |
| TIME IS ON THEIR SIDE Jeremiah Williams (left) & Joseph Tan (right) were the first two players to earn a draw, Clock prizes were compliments of the North American Chess Assoc. (photo by Ira Fine) |
| After eight hours of continuous competition, Alisa stood UNDEFEATED! Congrats to those players who played well enough to earn a draw: Jeremiah WIlliams, Joseph Tan, Larry Dulany, Orlando Cachuela, Leo Donofrio and Ken Horan. |
| LET THE SIMUL BEGIN WIM Alisa Melekhina studies the opening position that Jeremiah Williams unleashed. |
| FOCUSED! Alisa did NOT take a single player lightly. Here she's prepares to make a move against an unrated 9 year old. |
| THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY Cliff Batezel (lower left) thought his position was good enough to earn him a draw. He thought wrong. 1 - 0. |
| IN DEEP Some six hours into the simul, Alisa and 10 other players are still going at it. |
| WATCH & PRAY That's Aleks C. (left) doing the watching and Phil Hepler doing the praying. It didn't help though as both players fell victim to Alisa's talent before too long. |
| ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER The Flood family, whose son Kenneth was playing in the simul, Steve Leverich (center) and Dave Muckel all look on. |
| TRIPLE THREAT That's Phil Hepler (left), Jim Wickersty (center) and Nate Kolo executing their opening plans. |
