It's great to see so many new and enthusiastic players visit us each week and soo many talented youth, incredible! Thank you!
We welcome you to join us this Thursday, October 24th, for casual play and matches.
Our next USCF Rated Tournament will be held in early November. The tournament will be Game in 30 minutes (no delay or increment -Sudden Death) and registered players will be grouped into 4 to 5 person Round Robins sorted by Rating. This system will allow players to face off against opponents with similar ratings! Because of the longer time-control, this tournament will be conducted over the span of TWO club meetings. We are also excited to announce that top finishers in each Group will earn a spot in the Club Championship Tournament to be held later this year! More details will be available this Thursday at the Club! Hope to see you there!
The Club Championship Tournament (multiple sections) will be held in December and will likely continue into early January. Details will be announced soon.
GAME BREAKDOWN Update: We are excited to announce that going forward, the Game Breakdown's will be done Live at the Club on a bi-monthly basis by Coach Lars!
We will continue to post Member games on the Game Breakdown page as they are submitted so please feel free to email us any of your own games (include notes if you'd like) and they will be featured there!
