Come to wish Ronen "bon voyage!"

Grandmaster Ronen Har-Zvi, Heather and Aaron are moving out of the area. :( While we are sad that they are moving away, we are happy for Ronen and his family as he takes up a chess coaching assignment at a prestigious University in Texas that is big on chess. Our loss is Brownsville's gain!? So, we are organizing a farewell time on March 19 (Friday) from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Proctors in Schenectady is willing to let us use their premises to host the "Farewell Party!" It will be in their Education Center.

It will follow right after the regular Chess in the Chess Center activity that goes on from 4:30 to 6:00 pm. Please block the date and time for our farewell to the Har-Zvi's. There will be some food during the farewell party!

Ronen has been very gracious to us in promoting chess in the Capital District. His presence and promotion of chess at Proctors, at local Chess Clubs, and at the Albany Tulip Festival is remembered with extreme gratitude. I am sure all lovers of chess in the Capital District have been blessed with his passionate promotion of chess.

Please RSVP by writing to Ashok Aaron at or by calling (518) 370-5024. Any questions or ideas, do not hesitate to contact me.

We would appreciate your presence in this time of saying goodbyes to the Har-Zvi family.

Ashok Aaron and Phil Ferguson
