Some news

Hi all,

our annual Spring Open tournament has started. Juraj Pivovarov is directing and still accepting players so that means that you can join us from round 2, which is next Tuesday, June 2nd.

***

Our club will be open this coming Saturday for all juniors who wish to play and learn. I will be there and Roy Yearwood will be there as usual. 

***

I have also created an ICC account for our juniors. If you feel like playing or maybe observing some of the major tournaments troughout the world that are being broadcasted there... but don't wanna pay the annual fee :) then this account is for you! 
Just download the ICC Dasher version(http://www.chessclub.com/helpcenter/interface/Dasher.html) on your computer and then login with 
Username: CJCC 
and 
password: calgary

It'e easy and is fun! I already played two 5min-games and from provisional 1600 made our rating 2190. But let that not put you off! Just play and enjoy. If you are too worried about bringing the club rating down than simply select non-rated games when you seek a game. 

Have fun!

Stephan V.
