My son and I went to the Roselle library on Thursday, December 7, 2017, for their inaugural meeting. David Sye, who operates the club, supplied sets and a few clocks. He even played a simul against two scholastic kids that were finished early. He is a very nice young man. They are going to have a one round rated game every two-weeks and a meeting on the alternate weeks. This first meeting date was a rated game. Over 10 people showed up and six played rated games while the rest played non-rated games. It was fun for all.
I just moved over to Metro VP for ICA, from being secretary, and plan on visiting several clubs. I encourage anyone who wants to support a new club in the northwest suburban area to come and join the fun. As Metro VP, anyone who wants me to visit their club, please email me at metrovp@il-chess.org.
