Club Ratings start next Thursday

A small field of strong players enjoyed Thursday night. We played some unrated G/15 games and talked about how to promote the Longview Chess Club. The plan is to start our club ratings and do a G/15 swiss this coming Thursday. We are looking forward to the unrated tournament on December 15th in Shreveport and plan to attend. Anyone interested in going there as a group and sharing a ride, drop me a line.

Shreveport Chess visits LCC

Thursday night we were delighted to have Robert Stockman visit us from Shreveport. Robert let us know about the club he runs in Shreveport. They meet Wednesdays, 6:00 PM, at Barnes & Nobles Bookstore (Youree & 70th in Shreveport). They are also having tournaments every other month with the next one December 15, at the Ramada on Industrial Drive. We are hoping to start hosting our tounaments starting in January and alternating with Shreveport. We plan to work with them and have a USCF rated section at the future tournaments starting with the one here in January. I hope to have our January date and location set within the next 48 hrs..
