Note on relocation: The bughouse tournament and casual chess will be held tonight in the North Cafeteria in the Mayo Clinic Harwick Building. Enter the building through the same door on 3rd Avenue SW, summon security through the intercom and tell them you are there for chess. They will unlock the door for you to enter the second set of double doors. Turn right and follow the hallway to the North Cafeteria.

On Tuesday night the Rochester Chess Club will be holding a bughouse tournament! If you haven’t played bughouse before, it’s a blast. Bughouse is a four-player game played on two boards. Two vs. two. It’s a high-speed and social way to sharpen your chess tactics. You can read up on all the details of bughouse here: https://www.chess.com/terms/bughouse-chess

Matt Jensen will be directing a free bughouse event. Registration starts at 6:30 PM. We will have a brief introduction and Q&A around 6:50. Games start at 7:00. Each player will put their name on a slip of paper. We will randomly draw the teams for every board in each round of the bughouse event. Every time your team wins, you get a point. The player with the most points at the night’s end wins the event. No one gets eliminated, and you can join late or leave early.

We will also have a casual night for those not wishing to play bughouse.
