Congrats to Chris Bush who places 1st overall in last Saturday's WCC12 tourney. Tied for 2nd U1400 was Marv Martzall, Greg Jackson, and Frank Walls with two points each. Also with two points (but over 1400 rating) was Matt McKnight and Matt Gurley.

    If anybody is planning on coming out to the Daniel Boone Pioneer Festival this weekend, then come and give the Winchester Chess Club a visit.  We'll be open for any and all visitors (which we are during regular sessions anyway).  

    The club willl be open from 11:30 until 3:30 on Saturday and from 1:00 to 3:00 on Sunday.

    During the Festival, you can see us at our regular meeting place - the College Park Library Building.  This building is the only structure inside the park (besides the little log cabin).  The Library building is across the street from the Gym which is on Wheeler Ave.  If you are at the Gym steps (where all the banners are hanging) then you just look across the street and to your left.  We'll be open from 11:30 until 3:30 on Saturday and from 1:00 to 3:00 on Sunday.
