Knockouts are back!

The New Jersey Knockouts are back, and ready to conquer the United States Chess League!

We have a different roster this year -- many of the old faces are back, but we have new talent that is ready to add extra pop to our collective left hook.

The first new change is that the Knockouts' new manager is your humble blogger. Yes, I'll be taking over the management of the team for 2009. No, I won't be playing any games, as I certainly want to be a positive influence on the team!

Watch this space over the next six weeks for more announcements!
