This Saturday is the day! After due consideration, knowing my limitations as a player and the limits of my endurance, I have arranged to play in only the first three games, so I will not have to play that killer 6 p.m. round. Thank Goddess!
Today is the last day to pre-register for the discounted price - here's the form - fill it out and send it in! Hope to see you there, especially a lot of chess femmes. Come introduce yourselves - I'm really not fierce at all, I just look mean :) Pay no attention to those prior murder convictions, they were all reversed on appeal, darlings (and none of the victims were females).
In the herstory of the Hales Corners Challenges, the best turnouts were HCC IX...04/2009 (56+51=107)AMANOV,YOUNG,SANTARIUS,KOHLENBERG tied for first in the Open; and HCC XIII..04/2011 (57+48=105)STAMNOV,MENON,BREIDER,RAGHAVAN tied for first in the Open.
It would make me (and our sponsors) very happy to see a great turnout. I am very encouraged, tonight, by going through the list of pre-registered players - there are 7 that I count (not including me) in the Reserve section despite there not being any Goddesschess prizes up for grabs other than paid entry for the top finishing female player for the next HCC. In the Open, things aren't looking so good for pre-registration of female players - but I'm not familiar with some of the names -- maybe I'm missing a couple? Sure hope so!
