Hello Chess Club Members,

I will be directing the August slow tournament. The tournament will be a G/90: D5 Swiss tournament, consisting of 5 rounds. If you are interested in playing you can email me at jfulsom@charter.net indicating your interest in playing. Players will be allowed to request 2 byes in this tournament. If you find yourself needing a bye please let me know in advance before the round is started.

I will be trying something new during this tournament. My sister and I will attempt to broadcast board 1 live on Facebook during the tournament. I want to attempt this in order to work out any bugs or interference that this may cause players. In order to broadcast next year’s Rochester open.

I hope to see you all that next month’s tournament.
