The Manitoba Chess Association will close out the year with a night of informal chess related activities.
We tried this in August; over 40 chess enthusiasts enjoyed several activities. It was such a success that we decided to try it again.
Renew acquaintances old and new !
Shoot the breeze about Carlsen's latest exploits
Shake off the rust with a few blitz games !
Listen to a lecture on pawn sacrifices from a Master !
Buy and/or sell chess books !
Drop in any time on the evening of December 13 to room 4CM42 at the University of Winnipeg.
There is no admission fee.
There are a couple of Scheduled events, but don't feel compelled to participate- you may wish to just hang out.
7:00 pm. Doors Open
8:00 p.m.: lecture: National Master Jonathon Zaczek on 'Pawn Sacrifices in the Opening. Free to all
Through-out the night (approx 7:00 - 10:30)
Informal games - pair off with another player - pick your time control and have some fun.
There will also be an opportunity to make room on your bookshelves by selling a few books. Set a price, put a post-it note or sticker with your price and name on the book,and bring it for potential sale to another chess enthusiast. There will also be a few chess clocks and chess sets for sale.
