Sunday Night Chess & 1st Quick Champ
Greetings,
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 But before you celebrate, the Colorado Springs Chess Club is in the middle of our Championship season with some great events.
Our next event is the 1st City Quick Chess Championship & Challenger. This event is unrated. So, no membership is required. You'll get 5 quick games (G/10+10) whether you qualify for the Championship section or play in the Challenger. Space is limited. So, only 6 players get into the Championship section and 18 players get into the Challenger section. You can pre-register with PayPal.
You could qualify for the Championship with an online medal in this Sunday's last qualifying event. Hopefully, the log jam for the sixth spot will be broken if all these players are showing up.
Here are some places to play chess:
