Supporting Local Chess: News from Southwest Chess Club

Dear Chessplayers, THIS THURSDAY WE WILL BE AT LAYTON STATE BANK, corner of MOORLAND and BELOIT in New Berlin [Wisconsin]. Allen Becker will be giving a Simultaneous Exhibition to all-comers, a traditional event for the defending club champion before we kick off the new Club Championship. Those not playing in the simul can enjoy casual chess (no regularly-scheduled tournament that night). Layton State Bank is at 4850 S Moorland Rd. New Berlin; we meet downstairs. Thanks for your patience while our club deals with some location shifts due to the water damage at our normal meeting location at the Hales Corners Village Hall. We are working hard to line up great location(s) for the rest of the summer. We will very soon announce the entire summer schedule; we should be able to hold the CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP as originally scheduled ( http://home.wi.rr.com/swcc/Calendar.pdf ) (but at a new location, to be announced very soon!). We will EMAIL you very soon with an update. Also, check out our website for regular LOCATION UPDATES, and other news. http://home.wi.rr.com/swcc/ Again, we hope to begin the Club Championship on July 10 (a 6-Round Swiss with a slow time control) .... stay tuned for another email update in the next few days with that announcement.
