This Week’s Plan

To kick off the first meeting of the month, we’re going to have a 2 vs 2 free, unrated tournament of a Quick or Blitz time control. Coordinate ahead of time or just show up and grab a teammate. As always, there will be those not participating in the tournament who will be playing casual chess.

2019 AL Quick and Blitz is in the Books

For those who haven’t heard, the Huntsville Chess Club hosted the 2019 AL Quick and Blitz Championship tournaments on Saturday, June 29th at the Hampton Inn in Hampton Cove. Participants came from as far away as Knoxville, TN. Yury Barnakov, from Birmingham was crowned the Quick and Blitz champion. HCC members Logan Richey, Joel Friedman, and Victor Lundy split the Reserve championship 1st place spot, with Logan winning on tie-breaks. Congratulations to the winners!
