February Swiss Begins

February 6th marks the start of our 1st Swiss of the year. The four rounds will be played on the 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th at a time control of Game/55 inc 10. Entry fee is $2 and you must be a current USCF member to play in rated events.

I've heard from several regulars along with a couple of new/returning members who will be attending tonight so we should have a sufficient group to make this an interesting tournament.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

Meet and Play on January 23rd & 30th

Our remaining meetings in January will be casual meet and play nights. Our next tournament will begin on February 6th. I'm likely out until 2/6.

Closed Till Next Year!

With the holidays coming up, the club is suspending activities until January 2nd.

Wishing everyone the best, looking forward to seeing you all in the new year!
