Happy Labor Day - See you next week!

It's Labor Day. And that means that the start of the new 2013/2014 season for the Kingston Chess Club starts next week on September 9. We hope to see you there. 

Our first meeting will just be a social event to get people acquainted. Our first tournament starts Sept 16 with the 5-round Jim Cairns Memorial Swiss. Results of this tournament will be used to group players into 4-player sections in the President's Challenge later this year. This will be the first time will be running it as a 6-round Double Round Robin, so it should be very interesting.

See you there!
