Tomorrow Night & Membership Special!
Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow night we will be meeting at Rochester Montesori School from 6:00-8:00. This will be a night of teaching and playing games for fun. It sounds like we should have a good turnout at the school. Here is the link with a map. We will be having pizza and drinks afterwards!
Membership Special
Happy Holidays from the Rochester Chess Club! Steve Murray created a nice card for members that we will be passing out at club for the remainder of the month. Here’s an online version of our Holiday card. We are currently running a membership special if you buy a 2 year membership you get a 3rd year free!

Mike McKinley has given the RCC members a unique teaching opportunity at the Rochester Montessori School. We will be holding the club meeting at the school on 12/11 instead of at the Harwick cafeteria. We are planning to meet from 6:00-8:00PM and have pizza and drinks afterwards.
Scott Riester wins MN Class Championship Masters/Experts Section!
Weekend
NM Scott Riester has won the 2012 Minnesota Class Championship master/expert section with an extremely impressive perfect score! I will post the link to the results once it’s available. Other players from Rochester were Matt Jensen, Dennis Mays and Maor Leker Locker.
Tomorrow night
We will have an officer meeting at 6:00 PM tomorrow night. Everyone is invited. Casual chess will also start at the same time.
Chess Teaching opportunity
I have been teaching beginners the game of chess at the Rochester Montessori School. I have been using Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition’s Academy by Josh Watskin. They are learning a little, but haven’t been putting it to good use yet. I would like to invite the Rochester Chess Club to meet at the school on a given club night and play some one on one with the students then a personalized post mortem with the student you play. We will be able to serve Pizza and drinks after.
I have 14 students, and would need that many club members. I would like to do this 12/4 or 12/11 @ 6:30. Please let me know of your interest. Contact me at: Prez25@live.com
