Boylston Chess Club hosts: 4SS 60SD +5"delay
this Saturday, February 8th
NOTICE FOR THE SCHOLASTIC PLAYERS
This event is recommended as a warm-up for
the Spiegel Cup competition on the
following day, Sunday February 9th.
Come, play 1 or 2 games and be ready to
go for the gold on the very next day.
Remember the Superbowl: Seattle 43 - Denver 8!
Defense trumps offense.
And being warmed up on Saturday
trumps being over-rested (stale) on Sunday.
As the great World Chess Champion Mikhail Tal
said many times: playing chess is the
best way to learn and being warmed up
from playing chess on Saturday is
the key to victory on Sunday 
(not studying chess, but playing!!)
So come to the BCC ready to test your opening
novelties and defensive strategies
against the toughest competition !
So all you chess players out there: you are welcome
to play in this 4SS. You can practice your chess
and win some prizes as well.
Be Ready to Rumble!
See you this Saturday!
