Hi Chess Fans,

We have added two new chess camps to the fall schedule. Here is a list of all the upcoming camps/classes.

9/10 Camp, Harwick 9 AM – 12 PM [8 registered]

9/24 Camp, Harwick 9 AM – 12 PM [7 registered]

10/21 Class, Harwick 6:30 – 8:00 PM (Adv.) 6:30 – 7:30 PM (Beg.) [6 registered]

10/29 Camp, Harwick 9 AM – 12 PM

11/19 Camp, Harwick 9 AM – 12 PM

For the 9/10 Camp we have 8 players signed up:

Golden, Pavao, William Y., Wyatt, Marjan, Arden, Joseph D, Andrew L.

Last camp we ran our first USCF rated event and we would like to continue encouraging the kids to play rated events. This carries over to the Rochester Chess Club tournaments on Tuesday nights as well as any rated tournaments across the country. If the students plan to play in the state scholastic championship they will also need a USCF membership.

If your student doesn’t have a USCF membership and would like to sign-up, please visit https://secure2.uschess.org/webstore/member.php . We can also help you sign up in person. For those of you that have USCF ratings, you can check them at https://new.uschess.org/players/search/ .

Sign-up for the 9/10, 9/24, 10/21 dates: https://goo.gl/forms/oyUzwK2BQm0MMlyo2

Sign-up for the 10/29 and 11/19 camps: https://goo.gl/forms/mwoXMiBRYT0YOXtS2

There are also some fun events coming up outside of the camps.

11/15 – RCTC Youth President’s Cup directed by Dennis Mays

February – RCTC Tournament

3/5 – Rochester Area Scholastic Chess League City Cup

3/25-3/26 – MN Scholastic Championship

Also we have events every Tuesday night at the Rochester Chess Club (https://rochesterchess.com). Arrive most Tuesdays by 6:45 PM at the Harwick Cafeteria. This Tuesday Golden Peng is hosting an unrated tournament called the “Back to School Quick”.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
