My previous count of the recorded games of Yixin Li was a bit off, omitting his blindfold game against Rod Hajaj, his game on first board at the last UMass-Amherst match, and there are 14 recorded games against me, not 13. The revised total is 25, but many are game/15s of dubious quality. Below are a few more of the better ones.

It took 3 years of hard work to get our chess center program to what it is today. It took more than $10,000 in cash outlay for infrastructure, but the labor was free.

Entry fees go to prizes, USCF, food and drink. We charge no other dues nor fees. We appreciate any donation. We have a glass jar on the snacks table.

"BURGER LUNCH" BACK ON MENU AT COVENTRY CHESS

I experimented with a "cold lunch" menu on April 21, to try to eliminate the need for a cook at lunchtime. (dishes to be prepared that morning or night before).

It was nice, for me, the TD, not needing to go outside (away from the games) for 20 minutes to go cook. But as the cold lunch was merely okay, hot burgers are enjoyed so more.

For May 19, I will get 24 freshly-made patties, and 24 buns. We will have all the fixins. I discovered grilling burgers is a skill few people have. I have this skill.

After Round One is finished; your TD will go outside and fire up the grill. I cook to medium-well. Lunch break will now be 10 minutes longer, while we wait for hot and juicy burgers.
