Rochester Chess at RCTC on Tuesday and the Farmers’ Market on Saturday.
Rochester Chess will be holding an unrated blitz (5 min/2 s increment) chess tournament on Tuesday, July 16 at RCTC in Room EA 103. Registration will be from 6:30 – 6:45 PM. Games begin at 6:50. Casual chess will be available to those players who desire a more relaxed pace. Thanks to Paul Kinion and the RCTC math department for providing the chess equipment and space.
Rochester Chess will have an exhibit at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, July 20. 9 AM – noon. The market is an opportunity to help spread your love of chess. Visitors range from serious players to individuals who are interested in learning more about the game. It is a lot of fun and you can take time out to pick up some locally grown vegetables. 🙂 We will be at the back of the market on the grass near the river and in the shade of an enormous cotton wood tree. Stop by anytime! I hope to see you there.

Hello All,
Enclosed are links to the results of the 2019 Rochester Open held at RCTC this past weekend. Sixty-five chess players competed for cash prizes or trophies in 4 sections. Thanks to Paul Kinion and the RCTC math department for providing the space and equipment. Congratulations to Andrew Titus for winning the title of 2019 Rochester Open Champion with a score of 4.5-5.0 giving up only a draw to Rochester Master Dexter Thompson. Dexter recently moved to Rochester from Seoul, South Korea. Let’s all welcome Dexter to our community.
Congratulations to local favorite Golden Peng who had a breakout tournament gaining 175 rating points. Golden is now a class B player. Diego Behnke dominated the U1600 section with a 5-0 score, 2 full points ahead of his nearest rival. Danny Lincoln won the bantam section with a perfect 4-0 score. The Rochester Open was Danny’s first chess tournament. Not a bad start Danny.
