Greetings,
The Colorado Springs Chess Club is starting a 2-week, quick-event tomorrow night @ 7pm (6SS, G/24+5, $10 entry, Quick-rated, prizes)! See our ad in Chess Life.
The club survived our annual battle with the Pikes Peak Or Bust Rodeo parade with only one casualty, Doug Clark. He was lassoed and hog-tied for crossing against the light and never made it to club that night.
