Borlaug Parents Chess Club? A concept worth exploring.....

OK I have been playing chess with some parents of Students at Borlaug and I hear, that Dad plays chess with me at home.  I also hear, My parents don't know how to play chess, or a parent tell me the same.  Well how about every other week on Wednesday evening 8:00pm to 10:30pm we have a parents chess club over at the Java House on Morman Trek?  Casual play, and help beginners tactics and strategies to help their children.  No stress just for fun.

It would be fun, we could drink coffee, and pretend we are the kids.

Just be groovy and play chess.

On the ladder last week Eric Pieper took top spot, and held on this week.  We have reached 66 members, WOAH!  larger than last year.  Tournament in Ames and Chicago on Saturday.  The Vigil Boys will be going to the Susan Polgar world boys and girls championships, and I think Eddy Xu may be joining us.
