Best Meeting In A Long Time!!

Last night we came very close to pleasing everyone; well at least those who came to the meeting. The seven members in attendance enjoyed rated tournament play, skittles, and group analysis. It was almost a real chess party. Maybe next week we can draw an even number of players.

Weaver Wins On 9/11

Ernie Weaver won last nights tournament and vaulted into 3rd place in the qualification for the 2012 Club Championship. Ernie had a full head of steam rolling over Johnny and Jerry before Amy held up his train and took home all the rating points with a draw in the last round.

The real story of the night was that Amy went to the Family Buffet, and while wondering what had happened to the rest of the Club, ran into non-chess friends and decided to eat! Luckily Johnny had her number and called to see if she was stalled in traffic. The moral to this story is: "check the Blog daily".

Johnny Owens Wins By A Full Point!!

Johnny Owens, on the left in this file photo, scored 2.5 to win the G/45 Tournament which was played at Club meetings over the last three weeks. Due to low participation the originally planned 4-Rd event ended up as a Quad; disappointing those who signed up  looking for a norm. Click here for X-table.
