Thank you ANCC players...

....for a great night of chess!  I think everyone that attended tonight's (rather, last nights, since it is 1:33 am!) had fun, and enjoyed the evening.  Plus, we saw an additional new player to ANCC.  Again we are continuing to see new faces, and we hope that they continue to visit us at ANCC and make our club strong, vibrant, and a force in the chess board of not only Aurora, but of our greater Chicagoland chess community as well.  In addition, as we grow, our players will branch out and participate in other chess club's tourneys, thus increasing the general visibility of chess.  ANCC thanks every one of our players for their time, talent, and support. 

It was nice to see Bill from DeKalb.  His travel time amongst personal and work commitments are much appreciated as his input into ANCC's organizational and tourney foundations.  Great to have Gene and Jeffrey continue to come and play as newer members.  Thank you for your time and skills!  Jake and Kyle, ANCC continues to build on your foundations!  Brad, you have a hectic time of year in your professional job, and I look forward to restarting our board rivalry, but thank you so much for coming in to say "hi"!  Jim, fantastic to meet you.  I hope I get the chance to play you soon as I look forward to seeing you in future ANCC gatherings.  Alex, and Salvador, a big welcome back!! I know it is busy for the both of you with school finishing, and work keeping you either working, sleeping, or eating!  LOL.  Thank you both for coming in and playing as many games as you did!

Our players are continuing their intra-club 'bragging rights' games!  At the end of the month, and at the end of every month, we will tally the wins, and sort a 'hierarchy' accordingly.   I will post this on this site once that is accomplished.  Perhaps we need some sort of prize?  :)

For those ANCC players that were not able to attend, come by next week and get your game on!  Don't forget ANCC is hosting it's first USCF tournament on 5 June!!!  This is a call-out to all those ANCC players that have not been in recently..... don't forget about us!

Anyone... come on in, practice, improve your game, and meet new people before the tourney on 5 June.  Or heck, come in to practice for ANY tourney, such as the Chicago Open at the end of May.  Better yet, come in to ANCC just to socialize and have fun.

Yours truly, and remember to give me Queens odds when you play me ;)

The ANCC rep.  :)
