ICPL Chess Tournament Flyer! and ladder postings.

OK so they got it a little off, over 1000 USCF will be allowed to play but just against others that are above 1000.  But we are getting lots of entries, and I have ordered the trophies. 

Next week, your children may be coming home with chess puzzle homework.  Mr Bayman has gotten me some PDFs of chess puzzles and we will start with simple tasks and move up.  Hopefully our students will take these tasks to heart, study them and be better chess players.  I also want to put up on the screen the game between Eric Pieper and I at the Coe College Tournament and do a little analysis. 

On the ladder not much movement.  We had the battle of the Ciliberto's and Benji Z tried to unseat Barry Vigil to no avail.  Nathan Wei stays at the top of the ladder fending off all comers.
