State Championship ChessTournaments this weekend!

Two two-day tournaamnets for different age groups this weekend. Look online at www.minnesotachess.org for more details. Click on scholastics.

Grades 7-8 I think we have a Jr. High team heading to the Crowne Plaza Riverfront
Tom Miranda, Dan Keis, Alex Pressman, Magnus Nordby This should be a terrific experience for all of you - real official chess - silence, clocks, notation, spectators, and slow time controls (take your time you've got 2-3 hours per game. The winner will be the person that can make the best use of those hours!) - your results will give you an official USCF rating and the results are forever recorded and tracked by www.uschess.org.

Grades 5-6. We also might have a team heading to Minnehaha Academy for the Elementary Championships.
Frank, Anton, Ben E.?? and one more,  (Still have to talk those last 2 into it.) School pays this one.

If interested or you have questions, call Bill Heinemann at 651-451-8421. I'll register you Thursday night.
