The first match of the
Blaze season is Monday, August 23rd [note corrected date-BB] at 8:00 P.M. vs. the Seattle
Sluggers, at the new North Shore Chess Center at 5500 W.
Touhy, Suite A, in Skokie (just a few blocks west of
their previous location at the Holiday Inn).
[N]ew this year will be a parallel rapid fund raising tournament with every Blaze match. Here are
the details from the website:
We will also be running in parallel to the
Blaze matches, a Blaze fundraiser tournament each night the Blaze play. The
tournaments will be USCF rated and feature a G/15+30/sec increment time control.
The EF will be $20 per player. No chess center membership will be required for
these events but all players must be USCF members. Depending on turnout this can
be a one section tournament or a two section tournament. 100% of proceeds goes
towards the Chicago Blaze.
You can also
support the Blaze with a purchase of Blaze merchandise, through corporate
sponsorship, or with a personal contribution.
Details at the new website:
Remember, you don't
have to like the McCaskeys to be a Bears fan. Support for the Blaze is a matter of civic
pride.
I'm looking forward to seeing the McCaskeys' — oops, Sevan Muradian's — new North Shore Chess Center!
