All Quiet On the Western Front
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m still around and that I will hopefully have some real updates up by the end of the week. I’m hoping to get a tournament ready...

We sent this out to the e-mail list last week and finally got it up here. Hopefully we'll have some in person events soon.
We hope everyone has had a great Christmas/holiday and the rest of the year finishes strong for you.![]()

Looking forward to 2021, we don't know what might be possible on the event front. We're looking at the possibility of a scaled-down and more socially distant Four States Winter Open but if the situation warrants it, we may end up doing an online event as well. If you have any thoughts for that or other events, please let us know.

Like the fictional Beth Harmon in “The Queen’s Gambit,” she’s trying to find a way to get to Russia to compete. Unlike Beth, she’s blind.
Just a reminder, this is tomorrow. If you are planning on playing and haven't registered yet, you still have time.
Sorry for getting this notice out so late. Have had it planned for a while and things kept getting in the way. Hope some of you will be able to play and support the Joplin Public Library Children's Department and Chess Club.
