Tournament Carpool Opportunity

We apologize for the last minute notice, but if you are willing to make the journey with us to Crossville, TN, home of the USCF, there is a 4 round, G60 tournament there tomorrow that historically has between 20-30 participants. We would need to leave the library by 5AM. If you’re interested, please call or text Pat at (615) 424-2094.

If you’re interested in going, but would prefer to drive up tonight (Friday), please also text or call. We can work something out, but we are a bit short on time, so don’t delay! If you haven’t attended a tournament and want to, we can help you through the registration process. Just call with your questions. The vehicle can take 8 players, including the driver. As always, gas money is appreciated, but not required.

Tournament info is as follows:

G60 Tournament Results

The 5 week G60 tournament came to a close this past Monday with Bill Melvin narrowly bringing home the antique Morphy Barleycorn chess set. We failed to take any photos at our little award ceremony, but here is a photo of a set like that which was awarded to the victor. Thank you to all participants.
