Kris has started a Meetup group for playing chess in Saskatoon. Have a look at http://www.meetup.com/saskatoonchess/. Basically, it is a group of chess enthusiasts who plan informal gatherings in coffee shops, lounges, or anywhere else that is appropriate to play chess and socialize.
The next gathering will be on December 27th at Alexander's (upstairs in the bar) starting at 6:30 pm. The only thing serious about it will be the fun.
See you there!
The December issue of Scholar's Mate is now online. To download the e-magazine (DNL or PDF file) to your computer, please visit the Scholar' s Mate page on our website. No login is necessary to download this issue.
Scholar's Mate is always worth reading as a way to improve your chess. I hope that many of you will take a look at it.
This year's Saskatoon pre-Christmas tournament was a very small tournament if measured by the number of participants, but it was a great tournament if measured by the quality of competition.
