Our next match is this Saturday, June 6th at
1:00pm EDT against Huntsville Chess Club from Huntsville, AL. We need 4 minimum and would like to have more. I don't believe HCC will bring 10 like Cercle but they will try I hope you can spare an hour to play 2 games. Please let me know if you can play so I can get a feel for the turnout.
