A nice turnout this evening for some chess and chess lessons.
We welcome back Eric W to the club. Eric was with us at our last location - the gracious Barnes and Noble in Brighton - but this was his first time at the Hartland Senior Center. He too was impressed with our excellent club playing facility. Welcome back Eric!
Terry G was hard at work giving pointers to the young players, while many a friendly game - speed, timed and without a clock were played.
One Ladder game was played as Mike N held on in a tough game with Don J. But Don got his revenge in the rematch. Too bad only one Ladder game with an opponent is allowed per night. Mike won the one that counted on the Ladder. But Don will be back to challenge soon.
