Around the club. Join us on Friday nights.

ALL CLUB MEMBERS
If you leave the club after the front door locks, push the button on the wall to your right and wait 5 seconds. If you have trouble getting it to open, ask me (Adam) or someone else to help you. DO NOT smash the door off the track like you’re in a ‘90’s action movie. It sets off the alarm and the manager of the senior center has to drive over. The chess club gets to meet there for free. We don’t want them to change their minds. Please be careful with the senior center’s property.

All K-12 Players are welcome to play in the first league tournament of the spring semester. It will be in Fair Grove’s middle school cafeteria at 5:15 on Thursday.

Congratulations to Ethan on winning the Blitzen Open. For those playing in the Morphy Cup, our location is changing to 3259 East Sunshine 65804.

SNOW DAY ALERT - The club will be closed on Friday.

Play in the Morphy Cup. The entry list is updated. Entry is $30.
