Hi Nene,
No, I’ve been holding the sessions first and third Saturday of the month. Up
till today, they were at 13H UTC. I decided to experiment with the later time.
It worked out well. We had a nice turnout, some fairly experienced players as
well as some who have played in the past but have been away for awhile. I’m
building a direct mail list of people who want to be notified on a regular
basis. Let me know if you want on that list.
Best,
Jim T

Subject: Upcoming Chess Gather
Hi All,
Due to technical circumstances I haven’t had the time to resolve, I am having
to move Chess Gather from Chess Castle to Skype. I am also changing the time.
For those very new to chess, even if you don’t yet havbe a chess board and set,
I invite you to join me at 11 AM CDT. That translates to 16:00 UTC. We’ll get
acquainted and go over some introductory things that should help you along the
way. Anyone with board and set who would like to analyze a game should plan to
join around 11:30 CDT. Typical offer holds: if you have a game you would
particularly like to play over, bring it. I have plenty if no one brings a
request. We’ll go till about 1:30 CDT (18:30 UTC). It is my plan to email you a
skype link shortly before our start time.
For out-of-sight, I can only say that meetings in June, thus far, are
uncertain. I hope to continue normal schedule in Chess Castle with additional
sessions on skype or possibly Zoom,; I should have a bit of news about that
tomorrow! However, some in-home repairs, which I hoped would be completed by
the end of the month, will only be just started. And they will be disruptive.
So, stay tuned everyone. We’ll keep slogging along!
Best wishes,
Jim T
