Great Job! Bulldogs!

Great Job Bulldogs!  at Saturdays Prairie Chess Series #1 we are in contention for the top school in both the K-2 and K-5 sections.  The trick is to get the most players to attend.  The more players the more points our school will get.  Each game a student wins, it counts for the school teams total, so even if you come and only win one game, you help our teams total.  I would also have to say that even though we may not have had the most players from one school we are either in first or second place of these sections.

The Barber/Denker qualifying tournament is this weekend (see last weeks post) or go to www.iowachess.org and you will find information.  It is in Iowa City at Kirkwood community college, it is a great opportunity for good chess!

On the Ladder this morning, Barry Vigil again defended his title against two players.  Yulong, you will have first chance at Barry next week.  We welcome Sachiko Goto and J.J. Brown to the club, which brings us up to 54 members.  It is getting crowded in the library these days,
