Chess Club is continuing to be an fun activity in the morning.  Lots of movement on the chess ladder today, 1st place changed hands three times, with Barry Vigil ending up on top.

There is a tournament coming up at Kirkwood Community College this Saturday, Matt Power and I will be the directors it is a great opportunity to see how your student rates outside of Borlaug.  If you are not rated with USCF come at 9am so that we can get you set up with a membership.  3 month trial scholastic membership is only $8 dollars a year membership is $24 and comes with a bimonthly chess magazine.
