Since we're doing double-robins, you actually know who you're going to play every week until the end of the tournament. If you can't make a particular week, you should contact your opponent and try to arrange for a game to be played before/after the actually club meeting. Chris and John will be playing their Round 3 game later this week.

Pairings for next week will be posted shortly.

Azroy Kandan vs. Sid Anjilvel (2013 President's Challenge - Round 3)

I thought I'd share last week's game against Sid Anjilvel. White opened with the Reti, but later transposed to the London System. Check it out:

Alex Chan vs. Arman Azroy (2013 President's Challenge - Round 3)

Black sacrificed a bishop for an awesome attack, and White wasn't able to find the best moves to nullify Black's attack:

We've removed Brendan from Section 5, and so there are only 3 players in this group. Devin will get a BYE for next week.

Remember, we will be playing on November 11th, even though it's Remembrance Day. Good luck to all!
