2012 GLCC  Great Lakes International Checker Conference

Dear checker fans,
Jesse Furry, from the state of Delaware, won the 27th Tournament of the Great Lakes International Checker Conference, a 100-square competition played on ItsYourTurn.com. The tournament was mostly over by March 2012, but two games were exceptionally long and one seemed to drag on forever until it was ruled a draw.

In the meantime, Tournament no. 28 has been in progress for a few months already and should finish before long. Mr. Furry has clinched first place again.
