This Tuesday, February 23, 2016 @ 7:30 p.m. (Please arrive by 7:00)
Every last Tuesday of the month, our club hosts a rated Game-10 chess tournament in the Swiss format. However, you do NOT have to be a member of the USCF to participate. You will play four ten-minute games. The entry fee is $5. A win will net you $2.50, and a draw will get you $1.25.
Last time I sent a G/10 notice, I mentioned that some consider this to be our most FUN chess night of the month! Others may prefer the longer time controls of G/29 (my fav) or G/60, however, this is for some reason always a particularly lively, fun evening, with or without a pitcher of Urquell. Please see note at bottom of page.
PLEASE, don't drink and drive. If you even think you might need assistance, just ask!
We look forward to seeing YOU at the Westport Flea Market!

It can be fun, but again, please don't make a loud spectacle of yourself, just because YOUR game is over. We have ALL been a bit noisy at times. This is, after all, a bar & grill, however, we can keep the noise down while others are doing their best to stay relatively focused ;-)
Yes, it sounds confusing. "Lively". "Fun". "Shut up!" Well, whatever. Just please leave the room for a minute to scream and shout that you are a genius, if you are so overcome by the excitement of capitalizing on your opponent's blunder that you have to go 120 decibels about it all 😱
There are always other players available for non-tournament, casual play, so feel free to come to the club even if you do not plan to play in the tournament.
PLEASE, don't drink and drive. If you even think you might need assistance, just ask!
We look forward to seeing YOU at the Westport Flea Market!
