Do any of you live in the Springfield, MO area? There is a local chess club that we are trying to grow. We play once a week and have a tournament once a month! happy.png

Sorry, other end of State and don't travel much, but good to see. I played a lot on HS team in late 1970s, then quit 'til my much better brother convinced my to join here last year. 1/3 of even tiny rural MO schools back in the Fischer hay-day had clubs that turned into traveling teams.  I'm not a Facebook member, but had a glance at your all's page, bookmarked to keep an eye on progress. GREAT story about Ana and the Jr. World Disabled Championship.

Best of Fortune!👍

I played at a Springfield Chess Club back when I was going to school at SMSU.

The club from the OP's post, is not the Springfield club that has been around since the 70's.

Looks like a slightly clever name grab. Is this a olde or new p*ssing match? Will minature Tonka toy BassBoats with pawns and cryptic clues be burned in opponents' driveways near Nixa or Buffalo? I will stay tuned if so.

There were some issues involved and is newer, but as far as I know, things have settled down, for the most part. Just that potential confusion with naming meh.png
