August starts with the end of the Polgar for Sorel Edes and the beginning of the Denker for Fritz Eyerer. Sorel has done very well representing Maine and shown once again that our state ratings are underrated at the National level.
Fritz has been working hard to prepare himself for the Denker. I expect an excellent showing as he has shown marked improvement this year and a dedication to be a top chess player. Follow the results at uscf.org .
The big tournament in Eastern Maine is the St. Croix International in Perry on August 16. Hopefully there will be a significant turnout with quality players. I will be there, but that does not help the ratings average.
Last evening in Ellsworth I had one of my better evenings upsetting two higher ranked players. Tactics practice helps!
We should have a good turnout the next few weeks, so come join us at Mr. Paperback from 6:30-9:00 on Thursdays.
