The Scorpions are a team whose strength lies in their lower boards (compared to teams who play 2600 and 2700+ GMs on their top board and occasionally another GM on board 2). But by going 2-0 on boards 1 and 2 this week, the Scorpions showed that they are up to the challenge of defeating higher-rated competition on the top boards!<br/><br/>Congrats to Rogelio and Mark for their impressive wins this week, as well as to Joel for his decisive victory on board 4. Also congrats to Danny for his impressive performance last weekend at the Western States in Reno, NV. Extremely impressive performance this week by the Scorpions!
