This week: Jack Fulsom and Rob Newshutz are wrapping up their chess camps today and tomorrow night at the Harwick.

Saturday, 7/28: The popular monthly rated tournaments are back!  Jack Fulsom will be directing a Game/60 tournament that is USCF rated.  More info on the Monthly Rated event page.  If you plan on playing send Jack an email to help him prepare for the turnout.  Sets and clocks are provided.  If you don’t have a USCF membership you can sign up at the site, or in advance at http://www.uschess.org/.
