I also organized a school-based chess program. My son was the chess player, mentored by Harry Lyman. The Boylston Chess Club was a special place! Recently I moved to Medford and am excited to learn you will be moving here. I have learned some possible resources in Medford that might be of assistance. Please get in touch by email.

The Saturday chess in medford square has been great and the new club home will tie wonderfully into it.<br /><br />I like the space and think it will be excellent. As the post mentioned there are lots of good restaurants. The parking can be hard depending on timing. But if you are willing to walk there is free parking on Governors Ave. The new library is opening 1000 feet up the street. There is only one post game drinking hole in walking distance. Overall, I think it will be fabulous and look forward to visiting.<br /><br />Have you to the city? They are always interested in press releases and such. Also when you are ready the schools have news letters that goes home. And the local news paper is usually willing to publish something if one writes it for them.

Approximately 2/3 (give or take) of the players on Saturday are under 18, and if you extend the age to under 21 then it rises a bit to more, perhaps to 75%-80% are under 21 on Saturdays. The Sunday Milestones tournaments deliberately exclude the vast bulk of the Saturday players.<br /><br />In my opinion this explains pretty close to 100% of the turnout difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803893226357191005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099913.post-84172089108185445142019-08-12T21:49:00.667-04:002019-08-12T21:49:00.667-04:00I don't play that often but I never would play...I don't play that often but I never would play two days in a row. Saturday gives me a much better chance of getting competitive pairings. If I am playing 1 tournament or so a month I would like to avoid playing someone 400 points above or below me.
