Matt Jensen is organizing a USCF-rated quick tournament (G/15; d5) in 6-player sections according rating on February 25. The alternative is a mini-swiss with accelerated pairings in rounds 1 and 2 to minimize pairing mismatches. At least 2 masters have registered so far! Please send an email to Matt if you want to join: mrjensen23@gmail.com or just show up before the first round begins at 6:30 PM. 

The chess club is now meeting in the Mayo Clinic Superior Drive Support Center, South Cafeteria, 3050 Superior Dr. NW, Rochester, MN. Park in the employee lot. Enter the building through the southeast employee entrance. Press the red intercom button and tell Mayo security you are there for chess. Follow the signs to the south cafeteria. Allow extra time to find the playing site. Call/text me at 507-254-6809 if you have questions.
