Chess at the Mayo Clinic Harwick Cafeteria, Tuesday, October 15, 6:30 – 9:00 PM

Casual chess, endgame analysis, and a G/15 rapid tournament will be featured at the club meeting tomorrow, October 15 in the Mayo Clinic Harwick North Cafeteria. Congratulations to Soren, Rob, and Tim  for placing first in their sections of the recent rapid tournaments with scores of 3-0. Endgame analysis: bring in your favorite endgame to share with the club members. Rob won a very nice endgame in the recent Gopher Open which helped him finish in first place in his division. His play was impressive.
