LCCC 2025 Fischer 960 Champion Crowned - Next Club Tourney is....

 

Congratulations to Thomas Valenzuela who won the 2025 LCCC Fischer 960 Chess Championship! He bested 13 other entries on way to the title. He drew a determined Pete Bruder to win it with a 3.5/4 score. Pete and Dr. Ken Tack finished in a tie for second place with a 3/4 score. Well done guys. And thank you to all who participated.

Which leads us to our next Club Tournament starting in the last weeks of July. It is the Quick Tournament! Game time limit is 15 minutes with NO delay or increment!

Probably July 21 and July 28 will be the dates of tournament play. But this is not carved in stone yet.

The tournament will play two rounds a night, starting around 6:30pm. The tournament will go 4 rounds. This is an exciting event and one of the favorites at the Club.

Hope to see you there for this fun and FREE event!
