Rising HCC star, Tomasz Nielsen brought home the first place trophy and prize money with a perfect 4-0 score in the Montgomery Classic this past weekend. He, Michael Porter, Patrick Dowd, and son made the 3 hour trek down to the tournament. It was a strong field in both the Premiere and Reserve sections and good experience and fun was had by all.

Upcoming Events

Mark your calendars – If you’re interested in carpooling to Anniston for a tournament next weekend 4/6*, please let us know. I (Pat) won’t be able to make it this time, but wouldn’t mind coordinating the trip if someone is willing to make the 2 hour drive with our members. New chess organizer Aladdin Lateef is working with Caesar Lawrence to try his hand at directing a tournament in a new(ish) AL location.

Also, the Huntsville Challenge* will be on 4/13. Don’t miss the chance to play in a tough tournament crowd with competition from all over the state. Your attendance will help ensure that weekend tournament organizers, like Caesar Lawrence always feel that a trip to Huntsville to put on a tournament is worth the effort.

*As a reminder, both USCF and ACF memberships are required for these events.
