Hi Chess Players, You are invited to play in our January-February 2011 Swiss System Chess Tournament. Usually, each game takes a couple of hours. You will play four games in the for-the-people.com Chess Parlor. It is voice-chat chess. See below. Brook Sexton is the Tournament Director. If you want to play, just e-mail her or me by Friday, December 31, at 6:00 P.M. EST. This is 23:00 UTC/GMT. The exact rules will be e-mailed with the Round 1 pairings. Best wishes, Jim Slagle USA Phone 609 945 5415 Also, you are invited to attend our weekly International Chess Club Meeting on Saturday in the Chess Parlor at for-the-people.com at 11:30 A.M.
