Competitive chess players take note! The Grand Prix begins today, Tuesday November the 6th, and is a double round-robin event. Each player plays every other player in their group twice - once as White and once as Black. Did you know that there is a TNT at the same time?
In the past this TNT, which will be a 6 week event this year, had been called the Mike Shpan Memorial in honour of the late MCA member who hosted the Wednesday Night Chess at the Cornish Library for many years. Last year's winners in the 20-player field were Jeff Clark and T. Romeo Silva with 5/6. Waldemar Schulz won in 2005 with a perfect 6/6 score.
By the way: in order for you, who may be reading these words, to post comments here, it is necessary to get a google account. This is not difficult, however, and comments are welcome.

Thanks for the comments Tony and Saul. I've since posted my game against Simon Fromme from the Mike Shpan Memorial TNT.
My next ambition in regard to this blog is to see if I can show a chess game viewer. I've found at least one other blog, called Chess For You, that makes use of a game viewer from Chess Publisher. However, the blogger is an IT professional and what he can do I may not be able to do. We shall see.
Excellent blog, enjoy the posts and comments. Keep up the good work.
Ps Chess books much cheaper now in USA with our exchange rate what it is now. Just watch those shipping charges by either going down yourself, getting a post office box near the border or buying in bulk.
Great web site gentlemen!
