Schedule

Tuesday night is a casual night at the club.  Drop by any time and play some chess without any pressure of the tournament atmosphere.  We will be open from 6:30-9:00.

Friday night is our second Twin Cities Chess League match.  I will post updates next weekend after the games are completed.

RCC wins vote chess game 1!

After a battle in a Queen’s Gambit Accepted the RCC team has won our first vote chess game.  The winning team consisted of 10 RCC members:  Rob Newshutz, Mike McKinley, Jacob Pintos, Ryan Harmsen, George Paulik, Jack Fulsom, Chris Shomenta, Tim Schimke, Nathan826 and myself.  We started a new vote chess game with a slower time control (3 days / move) that everyone is invited to join!  Rob put a detailed game analysis from our first game which is on the games page.  A big thanks goes to Rob and Mike for doing a lot of the heavy analysis along the way.  We also had some great discussions at the Harwick about our games in progress with other club members.  Great job everyone.

Rochester Chess Club Correspondence Championship

We are running the first RCC Correspondence Championship on chess.com (FREE).  The time control is 3 days per move and there is vacation time available if you can’t make your move within 3 days.  All games are played on the website so there is no need to send out envelopes with stamps or even emails.  This is as easy as correspondence gets!  We are at 16 players confirmed trying to get 18 players with 3 RR sections of 6 players.  The top 2 from each section will move on to the final RR of 6 players for the championship.  You will be required to play all 5 opponents at once.  Here are the steps to sign-up.
Step 1)  Sign-up for chess.com  –>
Step 2) Send me (Matt) an email reply with your chess.com username and I will invite you to the tournament and the RCC group.  If you are already a member of the RCC group you have received an invite from me 🙂
