CHESS CLUB MEETING TONIGHT (12/9) HAS BEEN CANCELLED. ROUND 2 OF THE WINTER SWISS HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
Message from TD Matt: I have decided to postpone tonight’s round 2 of the Winter Swiss due to the uncertain weather conditions: https://www.weather.gov/arx/weatherstory. I will add a week in January (January 13). If that changes your situation due to vacations or other issues and you wish to withdraw or need a bye for that round, please let me know. If you could, respond that you received this information. mwmarkland@gmail.com
A reminder that if you need a bye for any round, please let me know as soon as possible. I will try to inform players who end up with byes so they don’t show up and find out they don’t have a tournament game. Thanks for your patience!
Free chess class and casual chess has been cancelled for tonight. Be safe.
