Winter Quarter Chess Club Meetings and Tournament!
Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Hey all!

Hope everyone had a great break and a pleasant start to their quarter. We will be doing things a bit differently this quarter. We will have our normal club meeting Wednesdays 4-6 pm in ARC meeting room one, just like last quarter. However, we will also be hosting a weekly tournament (Due to popular demand!) that will take place on Thursdays 5-7 pm in the same location (ARC meeting room 1). Regular meetings on Wednesdays start this upcoming week and continue until the week before finals (Wednesdays 1/12-3/9). We also have next week's Thursday (1/13) scheduled, but I would like to use this meeting time to talk more in depth about tournament rules such as notation and touch move. I will also address parameters of the tournament and answer questions that you all may have. This would be a great meeting to go to if you plan to play the tournament, and I would especially recommend going if you have never played in a tournament before! The actual tournament will run on Thursdays 1/27-3/10 (Seven rounds!). Entry fee is 3 dollars before or on the date of the tournament information day (1/13), after that the registration fee will increase in 5 dollars. Prizes will vary depending on number of registrants, so invite your friends to play to sweeten the pot!

More information on the tournament later, see you all at the regular club meeting (1/12) and the tournament information day (1/13) next week!
