IM Kopec visits the club on Thursday Aug 15! Dr Kopec will give a lecture then play a consult game with IM Alexander Matros. Each Master will be in separate room with a demo board and discuss the moves with the players in the room. This is a great opportunity to find out how an IM thinks during a game and discuss what you would like to play and why it is or isn't the best way to go. Dr Kopec will also have his books & DVDs for sale. Club opens at 7:00pm and this event is open to everyone! Come out and get your head ready for some Chess because....
