Hopefully everyone
has been staying busy and healthy through this pandemic.
I wanted to
share a few updates with everyone about the Boylston Chess Club. We
will remain closed at least through the end of May. We will have
further updates after we see how the gradual reopening of Massachusetts
is progressing.
We are pleased to announce
several online chess events in order to keep those chess skills honed.
GM Larry Christiansen has been hosting weekly lectures on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/ larrychr. Tune in for the virtual chat and tactics study or catch up on past broadcasts.
Starting
next week, there will also be a one-game per week Swiss tournament.
The time control will hopefully encourage more thought than the bullet
and blitz games I'm sure we have all been playing.
Finally, stay tuned for more information about rapid events hosted on chess.com over the upcoming weekends.
Since
the club has been closed for a couple of months now, the Board of
Directors has decided to extend club memberships for all current
members. Once we know when we can start hosting over the board
tournaments again, we will send more information about the extensions.
In the meantime, hope to see you all online, and we all hope that you and your families are safe.
On behalf of the BCF Board of Directors,
Andrew Hoy
