Teaching chess since 1996
Tournaments
It was very strange. We had people who registered for Friday’s tournament and then didn’t show up. For awhile, I thought we had an odd number, and I would get to play. But we ended up with exactly four players and set up a round-robin. Lance finished first, and Ivan finished second..
This was our final tournament for November.. We had two recorded upsets so far, and they will each be awarded a one month diamond membership at chess.co.
