Chaturanga Chess Club - Stan Ward July 8th

Hi Folks, We're holding a Game/24 +5 quick rating event

Last chance to enter this fun, 1 night event. It is Quick Rated ONLY. Also, if you are on this roster and see a rating different from what you usually see it is because it is showing your Quick Rating, not your Regular Rating. Many people have a far different Quick Rating vs their Regular Rating and can get confused. FYI. 
I will shut the registration down for good at 3:PM so there is still time. Thanks!!
Stan
p.s. The new "A Breed Apart" Shirts came in and will be onsite for those of you who ordered one.

Club Vice President and Publicity Director
