Since changing to a Sunday meeting time, it seems like we’ve lost quite a few regulars to our chess club.  We’re considering changing back to a weeknight, but want to hear from you on which day/time makes it easiest for you to come out and get a few games in.

Please note that if you have a preference not listed, you can create your own.  However, these are most likely the only times that can be accommodated.  If you would like to provide any recommendation or feedback not able to be captured on this form, please use the “Contact Us” option, or send an email to huntsvillechessclub@gmail.com.

The above is a scan of two documents.  The larger document is my report of the first Alabama State Chess Championship conducted in Huntsville in 1993 published in Chess Life.  I was the President of the HCC at the time.  Note that Huntsville and Madison players did well in the tournament.  You may recognize the young Matthew Puckett in the photo who is still an active player in Huntsville tournaments.  Meidinger and Melvin also did well and are still active players.

Vote and/or comment below!  Note – if neither option suits you, please add your own preferred time control and that will be considered as well.

Hello HCC members!

From Josh –

“Joel is going to love this.  I’m offering a $5 bounty on my own head (nobody is going to take a point off of me, so it doesn’t matter :-P)  Off me in a real game and I’ll pay you.  Also, I’m putting my rating points on the line.  Catch me at the club and challenge me to a rated game.  I’ll always accept (time permitting).  I’m a club TD and can submit games for rating.  I’ll even cover the USCF rating fee myself.”

From Don – I’ll match $5 on any win as well.

*Disclaimer – you must be a member in good standing with the USCF and ACF to take advantage of Josh’s offer.
