Dear Charlotte Area Chessplayer:

The 76 member, 40 year old Charlotte Chess Club features fierce G75 competition each Wednesday evening at McAlister's Deli (Park Rd & Seneca Pl.) - McAlister's Deli is a great place to enjoy delicious, "healthy" cuisine at a great price, socialize with other "adult chessplayers" and play one rated game at 7:30pm sharp! There are 200 parking spaces, dozens of individual booths with a lamp over each table!, modern & clean restrooms and competitively priced menu provided by a happy team of managers and servers!!

Our next 5 rounder, which begins on Wednesday, October 15, will be contested in 5 sections, Expert/Master ($100), "A", "B", "C", "D/E" ($50 ea.) and offer a $300 total prize fund! If you are not a current CCC member and have never played a rated game at McAlister's Deli, you are invited to play Rd:1 for FREE! (Please renew your USCF membership at www.uschess.org) After enjoying your visit, we hope that you will continue to participate in the tournament and join the CCC!

Each Thursday morning, bright and early, our website: www.charlottechess.com posts an edited article which features a report of the meeting from the night before to include images, narrative, annotated games, crosstable w/colors, Sinanovic's Puzzle, my opinion and other anecdotes! So, come and join the fun! Many wonderful friendships have been created at the Charlotte Chess Club! I'll see you there! (if you're running late, call 704-965-8931 and I'll try to pair you...)

NM Leland Fuerstman, STD
"Long live the CCC!"
