The San Francisco Mechanics come into the 2008 season with a trio of
Grandmasters and a host of the most talented young players in the
nation. With the much improved FM Sam
Shankland rejoining the main roster after strong showings in 2006
and
2007, along with World U12 Champion FM
Daniel Naroditsky, US Junior
Co-Champion NM Gregory Young, and the
youngest master in US History NM
Nicholas Nip all a part of this year's campaign, the Mechanics seem
to
easily have the most impressive collection of young talent of any USCL
team to date.
San Francisco added GM's to their 2008 roster the old fashioned
way, their past players went out and earned their titles! While IM Vinay Bhat and IM
Josh Friedel come into the season as only GM-elects, their titles
should come shortly and the Mechanics hope that these new GM's and
former US Champion, GM Patrick Wolff,
along with their tremendous young nucleus will help lead San Francisco
to another season like 2006, when they won the USCL Championship and
compiled the best regular season record in USCL history at 8.5/10.
