From Doug: "FREE tournament! I am moving from Littleton to Franconia, and have
decided that I would like to give away almost all of my chess books, about 500,
if any one wants them. Speed chess, 5 or 7 minutes per side per game,
perhaps with a small increment if there are enough capable clocks. All
ages, All abilities. Bring sets and clocks - I don't have them!
I will provide pizza, drinks, coffee, and prizes ($50, 20, 10). I have
lots of room here for people with sleeping bags, if necessary, so I would not be
averse to running two tournaments with the books giveaway in between. The 2nd
tournament wouldn't have any prizes (except computer books) . Lots of glory,
though! RSVP, please, because if there is no interest I will cancel it…" 5th Community High School of Vermont USCF Rated Adult Chess Tournament Date: March 21, 2008, 10:30 PM - 4:00 PM Location: Newport State Correctional Facility, Newport, VT Organizer: Bill Storz, wstorz@doc.state.vt.us or 802 334-8955.
