This quarter, on Thursday’s we will have a "ladder game" G 40/d3. You sign up every week
when arriving and play one game per week. Pairings are on scores in the ladder,
not ratings. All can play even if you only come occasionally. We will try this
for first quarter and see how well it goes. You will not play the same player 2
weeks in a row. This is a real fun event and favors those who show up every
week. Not Rated, all may play every week.
Come out and join the King hunt!
Best Chess to you!
