My chessplaying friend and founder of Computer Labs 4 Kids, Shira Evans, with a rating over 1700, will be playing in the Open Section. I will be playing in the Reserve Section with - UNRATED - after my name. LOL!
Shira is very familiar with tournament play although she hasn't played in any OTB tournaments in recent years. Me - not at all. I've never played a game with a clock. I will most likely be playing against people much younger than I am who are trained in chess openings, middle game and even end game technique. I expect it won't take me an hour on my clock to lose each game, but my goal is to have one draw. Ambitious! I will consider that a triumph! Maybe there will be a two year old I can fool with a Scholar's Mate - if I can remember the moves....
