National Chess Master Matt Jensen is known for his strong play in over the board chess tournaments. He recently finished in sole first place in the 2021 Rochester Masters Invitational Tournament. He is famous for his chess improvement program ChessGoals https://chessgoals.com/. Club member and the March Swiss winner Jesse Buss is a co organizer of ChessGoals. I recommend strongly that you check out the great content on the ChessGoals YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFJfr5LYYt8. ChessGoals emphasizes improvement for club players like us. Their opening recommendations are based on what we can expect in games against other club players (1600 – 2200) (not necessarily what the top grandmasters are playing).

Chess and cheesesteaks, Thursday February 24 at Jersey Jo’s.

Come for the chess. Stay for the cheesesteaks. On Thursdays from 2-6 p.m., Jersey Jo’s Philly Cheesesteaks has been hosting casual chess at its one-of-a-kind shop at 187 18th Ave SW (in the small strip mall across the Frontage Road from the McDonald’s on 2nd St. SW). Stop in for casual chess (and, really, there’s no obligation to buy food).
