Southwest Chess Club: More Action Galore!
Sorry not to have published this last night - I claim exhaustion. And hives - this morning shortly after I arrived at the office (when I couldn't do a thing other than pop some antihistimine tablets) I've broken out in hives and not only do I have itchy arms and legs, I have a swollen distorted face and lips because of soft tissue hives that popped up on the inside of the right side my mouth and inside my right cheek. Eek! Have pity on me, for they are no doubt due to the stress of returning to the office after a three week vacation. Sigh, and ugh - I'm not a pretty sight to see at the moment, I look like Charles Laughton in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
Check out the action at my adopted chess club, SOUTHWEST CHESS CLUB:
This Thursday night (June 4th) we have a one-night tournament (3 games) in two formats:
(1) Action-rated only (Game/29), affects only your Action Rating (not your regular rating),
