Summer Chess News in the Cowichan Valley

Dear chess friends:

The numbers are lower for the summer but there is still regular chess every Monday from 6-8 pm at the Cowichan Branch of Vancouver Island Regional Library.  All are welcome, equipment is provided, the library is air-conditioned, and it's all free.

I decided not to go ahead with a 2nd Cowichan Rapid Open this summer. Maybe next year. I will, however, be directing a tournament in Victoria on September 21. 

Details are here: Victoria Chess Club Active

The South Cowichan Branch of VIRL looks to be hosting a once-a-month chess club.  I think it is on the last Friday of every month, in the afternoon, or something like that. Give them a call if you're interested. 

I've decided to use Lichess.org for some game postings. If you and I had a game at Wood Sense Chess Club, then you may find our game over there at https://lichess.org/

Ask me and I will give you the link.

Nigel
