Election results, TCCL standings, $3 quick chess tomorrow!

Tomorrow night

We will be having a G/15 d/5 tournament starting at 7:00.  The cost to play is $3 for members and $5 for non-members with some small cash prizes.

Election Results

First off we would like to thank Jack Fulsom, Chris Shomenta, and Roy Knuth for their contributions in their former positions.  These members volunteered when the club was in desperate need of leadership and we are all very grateful.  All of the new officers ran for their current positions unopposed.  Dennis Mays is the new President of the RCC/MCCC with the slogan “a chicken in every pot”.  “A car in every garage” might be for his re-election term!  The following positions were also filled:

Vice President – Mitch Mast

Treasurer – Jack Fulsom

Secretary – Matt Jensen

Scholastic Representative – Maor Leker Locker

Silver Division – Rochester B2 or not B2 won 3.5-1.5 again and are sitting in first place!  Kevin Gaustad, Ralph Townsend and Maor Leker Locker are all a perfect 2/2 so far and Roy Truelson has 2 draws against experts on board 1.

Bronze Division – The Rochester Knights lost to the 2nd highest rated team in the division.  The knights are currently in 6th place with Dennis Mays and Jack Fulsom both scoring 1.5/2 so far!

New Game Added
