Ellsworth Chess Is Hopping, St. Croix International Lurks

Last Thursday we had more newcomers at Mr. Paperback for our weekly chess get-together. A youngster from Buffalo stirred things up with his energy and basic knowledge of openings, but the elder Paul Wlodkowski still emerged victorious in the end. I played well for two of my games but fell prey to time and blunders in the others. (What else is new?)

As summer winds down, we anticipate 2-3 more good turnouts before school starts. Come by Thursdays from 6:30-9:00.

The St. Croix International is only five days away! Alba has expanded his prize fund for under 1000 rated players and reduced the entry fee for those under 15 years of age. Check chessmaine.net for the latest.
