Closing the Board on March: A Reflection on Our Latest Chess Tournament and What’s Next


As the "March In Like A Lion" chess tournament wraps up, we take a moment to reminisce about the memorable moments and outstanding performances, especially on March 18, which showcased the essence of competition mixed with community spirit. Mike O'Brien distinguished himself by securing the title with four consecutive victories, overshadowing the strong contenders, Leo and Grant, who couldn't attend the final matches due to scheduling issues.

All told, 18 players competed in the month-long event, showcasing an array of strategies, resilience, and the sheer enjoyment of the game. Congratulations to all the winners, participants, and the chess community for making the "March In Like A Lion" chess tournament a memorable experience.

We have scheduled a casual meet-up for all new and existing players to foster a sense of community and continuous engagement in chess. Please mark your calendars for March 25, as we will gather at Burger King at 6:00 p.m. for an evening filled with chess, conversation, and camaraderie. This informal event promises to be a perfect opportunity for members to interact, play, and learn from one another in a relaxed setting, especially for those looking to get acquainted with the club.

Additionally, remember our Beginner's Club meeting tomorrow night, an ideal setting for new players to learn the basics and meet fellow chess enthusiasts. This will be followed by an exciting online tournament this Friday night, offering another fantastic opportunity to put your skills to the test against fellow club members.

As we update the chess ladder and look forward to future events, we're reminded of the beauty of chess in bringing people together, challenging our minds, and, most importantly, creating unforgettable moments.

Until the next game, keep practicing, and see you on the board!
