    NBCC Championship


    Pairings for Round 4 of the Club Championship, and all subsequent rounds will be available on the calendar on the Club website on Sunday before. Please let us know (club email or in-person on the Tuesday prior) by Friday if you need a bye in the subsequent round. We have members coming from long distances, and we don’t want anyone to come and not have a game. Thanks for your commitment and good luck in your remaining rounds.


    We’re also analyzing games from the Club Championship on lichess in the Saturday Study Group. We encourage members to submit their games. You can send a copy of your scoresheet to the club email or submit your scoresheet on Tuesday.


    We will take a break after Round 6 to host our quarterly honorary tournament. Next on the list is Dan X Golda for February 22. It will also give those who play at USATE a break from long-time control games.

    By popular demand, the topic for next Tuesday’s lecture is “A Tour of Sicily.” Are you buying or selling?! Come by 6:15!

    Saturday Study Group at 5 pm


    The Saturday Study group will be back on Saturdays. It will start at 5 pm and run for two hours. We will be analyzing games from the Club Championship as well as continue reviewing Jonathan Rowson’s “Seven Deadly Chess Sins.”


    FM Rick Bauer will send the zoom links on Saturday to those on his email list. If you are interested in attending the Saturday Study Group, please email the club and we will get you on that distribution list.
