The West Texas Chess League match between Abilene and Lubbock was played 11/14/2009 in Abilene. The result was a 16-16 tie.

Abilene came from behind in the final round to tie the score. Of course, their task was aided by the fact that Lubbock could field only 7 players, so Abilene had four points overall by forfeit.
