It’s Opening Week! Read on.
Season 11 to Open Wednesday
We’re closing in on two boards for opening night Wednesday at the Red Lion. Our current count is 12, including five new faces. Please join us if you can.
Pavilion Game Check Mated
The careful reader will wonder why the season didn’t open yesterday with the scheduled game at the Chess Pavilion at North Avenue Beach. Unfortunately, we could only muster five players. We’ll try again in the fall.
Next Sunday’s Game Full…Sort Of
We have our seven for Sunday’s game at Brian Beck’s home in Morton Grove, but there’s a catch–one of the players needs a ride and may not get one.
So, we need either a kind-hearted Weasel to provide a ride or a replacement to bump him out of the game. Anyone?
It should be a fun day in Morton Grove. Brian will be grilling in advance of the game, and there will be NFL games on in every room in the house. Play will start at 11 and end soon after the final football game of the day.
