Chess Sets For Sale, Update
If you'd like a chess set like the ones we use at club, with a nicer (sleeve for board and handles) carrying case, let me know. Cost is $10 which is at least $22 less that you can get one anywhere else. (I got a discount for being a regular purchaser, another discount for ordering bulk, another Black Friday discount and we all share the shipping costs.)

Ratings after Nov 12
Reminder for Tournament players, we have a tournament on Dec 13 at Metcalf in Burnsville.
My rule of thumb is that your rating needs to be at around 400 to win a game at a tournament. You can come if your rating is lower, but don't be surprised if you lose all 5 games.

Congratulations to Oscar who delivered a checkmate with K & Q in 43 seconds - the fastest in the class. Frank, Emma, Josh, and Gabe also passed the test by checkmating in less than a minute.
If you didn't pass, you still have one week left to practice and do it next week for 10 points. If you need review you can check my chess lessons out on the link on this page.

Need a Chess Set?
I'll be ordering sets soon like the ones we use at school. Pieces board and carrying case for $15 or less depending on how many orders I get. I hope to get them for $12 if I get 10 orders from all my schools.
Let me know what color board and case (black, green, blue, dark red) Here's a link so you can see what you're getting.
