Tuesday – “Leker Locker’s Playground”

We will be having a G/25 d5 dual rated tournament starting at 6:30 PM.  Free to play.  Please email me, matt@smarterchess.com, if you’d like to register in advance.  Maor has named the tournament “Leker Locker’s Playground” in honor of his new Class A rating!

Elections 

The elections will be held at the club on October 29th and members will have the chance to vote via email or in-person in advance if they cannot attend on 10/29. If you’re interested in re-running for your current position or a different position please send me an email and I can add you to the ballot.  I know Jack is looking to move to Treasurer to fill Chris’ shoes.  I’ll be running for secretary again but don’t mind if someone else wants to fill the role.
Thanks everyone,
Matt
