Notes:

Note 1:  Personally I'm a big fan of notation. However, at club, unless BOTH players agree to take notation, it is not considerate for one player to notate without the other.  Please be courteous in that regard.

Note 2: Folks who do not show up for their reserved spot without communication will be asked to sit out a week, with escalating consequences for future no-shows.

Note 3: This is not a chess lesson -- it is an opportunity for folks who already know how to play chess (to some degree) to get paired in casual games for a couple hours. If needed, the club can refer individuals to a number of excellent instructors and programs.

Note 4: Please check-in with Coach Bill upon arrival -- do not go directly to the boards.

Note 5: Immediate rematches are discouraged -- we like to rotate players -- but if players draw or have a very short game with a quick mate, please check with Coach Bill

Note 6: Please report your result promptly to Coach Bill in order to get paired with another player.  

Note 7:  We love Golconda's food -- but there is to be NO EATING at the boards while games are played.
