A good chess player always makes his excuses pre-event: I haven't played for months and I'm rusty!
Step by this weekend to say hello and kibitz at the Skokie Holiday Inn. Thanks to Chris Baumgartner and MCA for organizing the event for us fish. Details here. The format is very cool: it's a 9-round round robin: five games this weekend and four more in June.
