Join Rochester Chess at the Farmers Market, June 15, 9 AM – Noon
Rochester Chess will have an exhibit at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, June 15, 9 AM – Noon. This 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 under an enormous cotton wood tree. Stop by anytime! I hope to see you there.
June Slow Tournament Begins on Tuesday, June 4 at RCTC in Room EA 103
Rochester Chess will be hosting a 4-round USCF-rated tournament, formerly known as Jovana’s June 2019 Slow Chess Tournament (G/60 + 30 second increment) beginning on June 4.
Play one game per night on June 4, 11, 18, and 25. Up to 2 half-point byes may be requested in rounds 1-3. A zero-point bye is available for round 4. We plan to divide the field in two sections based on rating. Games begin at 6:30 sharp.
Registration: Free for current club members who register online by June 3 (strongly recommended to help us start on time) or $5 for all who register onsite (6:15 – 6:30 PM) and for nonmembers.
Directions: Park in the main lot on the East side of the main campus. Enter through the Hill Theater/East Hall entrance, it’s closest to the lot. Room EA 103 is near the door.
Thanks to Paul Kinion and the RCTC math department for providing the space and chess equipment for this event.
Jovana’s Advanced Classes will resume in July.
