Jack Ponder prepares to make what will be his final move against Abe Lohnes.
Their mothers, Holly Lohnes and Debi Ponder also had some quiet time in the front.
Abe was happy to announce he beat Jack in this game. Jack asked that the result not be made known, as he has taken the measure of Abe on previous occasions.
Abe described his final move: “I moved my rook in the spot that his dead bishop occupied. It was between his king and his knight. He then moved his king to kill my knight and then I moved in my rook for the kill.
"If (Jack) would put his mind to it he would be a pretty good player."
