To participate register online https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUH__ikTJJAB7YlDdOp3vA5kq7b8R8yYVX6mrDmKfJl-pvWw/viewform?usp=pp_url (preferred) or onsite. Solving starts at 6:45 PM.

FREE CHESS INSTRUCTION PLUS CASUAL CHESS ON TUESDAY APRIL 16, 6 – 8 PM AT THE CLUB.
New or inexperienced chess players are invited to the club to learn from our more experienced club members. I am asking our club regulars (both youth and adults) to help less experienced chess players improve their play.
JAMES DEVLIN, LUKE MAASCH, AND ADITYA JEYAKUMAR ARE WINNERS IN THE APRIL SCHOLASTIC SWISS!
Twenty seven students competed in the April Scholastic Swiss Chess Tournament on April 13 in the Mayo Clinic Harwick Cafeteria. James Devlin won clear first place in the premier section with a perfect score of 5-0. Luke Maasch and Aditya Jeyakumar tied for first place in the reserve section with scores of 4.5-0.5. Luke took home the trophy for first place based on tie breaks. Trophies through 7th place were awarded to others. Players who did not receive a trophy can pick up their medals at the club meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 6 – 9 PM. Congratulations to all!
