MATCH INSTEAD OF LECTURE IN JUNE

For June, we decide to take a break from the lecture series and instead, Thomson Chess Club is organising a friendly match with the BullDogs Team at our Club!

The BullDogs Team is made up of Filipino expatriates who are crazy about chess and mind you, they are strong and often finish highly in our local tournaments. My task is to rope in as many that they can muster.

Format of the match shall be 2 games of 15 min with 10 sec increment.  We shall do a blitz one sometime later.

Members who are interested to play please email me. The date is tentatively set at 24 June.

LECTURE ON CAPABLANCA MAY 27

The coming lecture by Bradley will be focused on the 3rd World Champion, Jose Raul Capablanca


He is Cuban, learnt chess at a young age by watching his father play. One day while his father was playing, he could even tell him that  an illegal move was made with the Knight. Mark of a genius.

We start 8pm this Friday at the Club, please come early to take your seats.
