Chess Club Meetings have been Suspended for 6 – 8 Weeks Due to the OVID19 Pandemic
Chess club meetings have been suspended for 6 – 8 weeks due to the COVID19 pandemic. A huge bummer but it is better to protect our health and the health of those around us. We meet on Mayo Clinic property so we are following Mayo Clinic’s guidelines on nonessential meetings. I will post periodic updates as the course of the pandemic becomes clearer. Your memberships will be extended 2 months at no charge to you. This may be a good time to explore online chess at http://Chess.com or http://Lichess.org.
