Chess Champion Retains Title

Chess has always been one of my passions, I love the game. When I used to be a street vendor down South ( U.S.) there was a 16 by 16 square foot chess board in the park where I sold crafts, it was an awesome experience.

Don't have much time for the game anymore but, I still play frequently online, every now an then. So I thought I would share this for any chessheads.
