National Chess Day 2012

Do we know yet whether it’s going to be on Oct. 6 (Columbus Day weekend) or Oct. 13 (second Saturday)?

Noidea - it is up to Congress to make a declaration - unless we skip that step.

My understanding is that last year the USCF’s choice of date preceded the Senate’s resolution. Was that not the case this year?

I like the idea of a fixed weekend.
