You are cordially invited to participate in:

The Westport Chess Club's 2^nd Tuesday G/29 Chess Tournament

With IM Michael Brooks

2nd Tuesday of the month G/29 chess tournament @ 7 PM
Every 2nd-Tuesday of the month our club hosts a rated Game-29 round-robin chess tournament. You have to be a member of the USCF to participate. Each player will have 29 minutes to make their moves. You will play 3 rounds in a round-robin system, and there will be 4 players per section. Sections will be created according to your USCF quick rating (You will only play people near your current rating.) The entry fee is $5, and the winner of each section will win $15. Since this is G/29, only your quick rating will be affected. Registration begins at 6:30.

CORRECTION to the last club notice: It has been brought to my attention that NM Ron Luther is the 10-time Missouri State Chess Champion. I stated that the current count was 11. 

Ron has informed me that the Missouri Chess Association has approved $300.00 for chess clocks to be sent to Afghanistan. A terrific gesture on the part of the M.C.A.!

Many thanks again for all the enthusiasm and support for sending chess supplies to our service members in Afghanistan. Best wishes to them for some successful tournaments! 

We hope to see you tomorrow night! Remember, even if you are not in the tournament, there are always casual games if you would like to attend! 

Yours truly,

Richard Franklin
