This Tuesday, May 12, 2015, IM Michael Brooks will join the Westport Chess Club for our monthly G/29 Chess Tournament!!
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.
Many thanks to all the members of the Westport Chess Club who have generously supported our efforts to send new chess supplies, including pieces, roll-up boards, piece bags and chess clocks, to the intelligence unit stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan. To date, we have received cash and pledges of support totalling $620.00.
16 complete sets were sent this last Tuesday (USPS APO Priority Mail!), from the Chess House in Washington State. We are close to having enough to send chess clocks, and I will have an exact quote on that amount by tournament time this next Tuesday evening at the Westport Flea Market. A few more donations will certainly enable us to complete the order.
I have also heard from 11 time Missouri Chess Champion Ron Luther, who has informed me that chess clocks will be discussed today at a meeting of the Missouri Chess Association. Fantastic!
Our friends in Afghanistan will soon be in great shape to have some very successful tournaments!
A special thanks goes out to Dave Kearns for his enthusiastic support, and to Ben Clayton, who also reached out to individuals in the Kansas City tech community, who were VERY generous in their support!! Many thanks to all!!
Yours truly,
