Joplin Chess Anniversary
Well, the site has been up for almost a year already ( September the 29th it will be a year). I haven’t done as much as I wanted to when it comes to modifications on the site or in posting articles, yet I feel that it has been a useful tool to get information out about chess in the area.
I hope this year to be a bit more productive and finally talk some other local players to contribute some articles, games, etc to the site. I have renewed the domain name, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, I hope we will be around for many years to come.
So please, if you have any news, tournaments or anything else you feel would benefit local chess or is about chess in the area, please let me know. Remember, this site is geared to chess in the area in general, is not dedicated to any particular club or group and welcomes your participation.
Thank you for continuing to visit and I look forward to continuing the chess journey with all of you.
When do you plan on the next Joplin tournament being?
November 21st for the normal tournament and I was hoping on getting a quick tournament (G/25) off on the 10th but I haven’t secured a location yet so I don’t know about that one. I may put it off a couple of weeks if I can get a place, though I also need to check the date for tournament collisions. I sent out a brief e-mail to my list on the 18th. Hopefully, I’ll have the location(s) soon.
