We are glad to announce our upcoming 29th Anniversary Tournament October 20th.
We will have both open (all even games) and handicap tournaments. The open tournament is for the 8 strongest players and will have a cash prize of $150 for the player winning 3 games. Our handicap tournament will also have cash prizes for those who win 3 games (or divided over those who win 2 games if no one wins 3). There is our usual kids prize of $25 for the person under 18 years old who wins the most games (playing with higher ranks break ties).
