The 2008 Texas Team Championship, held Jan. 26-27 in San Antonio, drew a record low of six teams. The winner with 4-0 was top-rated (2169) Committee to Elect Garry Kasparov: Selby Anderson, Jim Rohrbaugh, Don Sutherland and J.P. Hyltin. This was largely thanks to a mighty performance on the lower three boards, assisted by a ratings advantage. Rohrbaugh and Sutherland had perfect scores, and Hyltin gave up just one draw (with Zhaosu). Anderson took back-to-back losses against Rylander and Malazarte, and finished with 2-2.
Clear second with 3-1 was Extreme rated 2034, with Dennis Rylander, Paul Haney, Clemente Rendon and Clayton Swafford. Top U1900 team on tiebreaks was Walking Tal (Ernesto Malazarte, Mitch Vergara, John Niven and Zhaosu Ye) with 2-2. They tied with Barbaric Bishops (Gregg Stanley, Martin Gordon, Nathanael Lozano and Daniel Lozano). The lowest-rated team had the memorable (maybe inevitable) name, Don't Taze My King, Bro'.
Prizes were cut in half, but not the trophies. Martin Gordon directed for the San Antonio Chess Club.
