Some Upcoming Events

In response to some discussions at the Albany Club last night I am setting out some information on the early activities of the upcoming chess season.

The following chess events are scheduled:

29 August - Chess in the City special blitz event will be held under the marquee at Proctors in downtown Schenectady. It is a five round Swiss System event, game in five minutes. Entry is free. Many prizes offered. Registration begins at 11:00am. Play begins soon after. This is a fun event and I have had a great time every time I have played in it.

Of course the NYS Championship comes 2 - 5 September at the Albany Marriott, 189 Wolf Road. Registration begins 6:30pm on 2 Sept. for the early rounds. Details in Chess Life.

15 September - The Schenectady Chess Club Blitz Championship played at the club's rooms at the Niskayuna Rec Center, 2682 Aqueduct Road. It will be a multiple player round robin, gamer in five minutes event. The entry fee is five dollars with all fees being returned as prizes. Registration starts at 7:30pm. Play begins at 8:00pm.
