Some Good Looking Chess Players and we have a match vs Weber Elementary on Nov 8th 1PM

Those are some good looking chess players.  Sporting some good looking shirts. 

Today we handed out t-shirts to all the chess players.  Some chess players need to still bring in permission forms, otherwise they will not be on the chess ladder.  We didn't get much chess played today as we were taking pictures and having just good chess fun.
our match with Weber Elementary will be Nov 8th Sunday, from 1pm to 4pm at the Coralville Library in the Basement.

we have two times the number of players as Weber, so we may have some Borlaug vs Borlaug matches, and we can have these matches USCF Rated if both players agree before the game starts.

This is a great time to make some chess friends. 

Coach Eric

New Chess Year. Changes ahead

Alas my schedule is changing, and I am not sure what days I will have off.  With the new school years time changes I am thinking 7:45am to 8:40am.  I will keep you posted when My schedule does indeed change.  Also we will not be starting until October as my schedule at work may be changing days.

Iowa Open RBO (rated beginners Open) is on Aug 29th.  A five round g30 d5 tournament.  It will be great to come and play.  At the Coralville Marriot Iowa River Landing.  Claudia Munoz will be there she is the Girls Champion of the USA 2014.   It would be great if some of our girls came out and maybe she would go over their games and do some chess lessons with them.
