Summons to Chess Tourney!
Are you an utterly obsequious coward? We, the partisans,
paladins, and protagonists of the Exposition Park Chess Club [http://
chess.expoparkla.com/] very greatly desire the attendance of brave
chess players.
This coming first Sunday of the month, May 4th, 2008, will be the
occasion of a free, unrated, open, three-round chess tournament. Cash
prizes will *NOT* be awarded, but the names of the winnners will be
published in the Los Angeles area print media, posted transnationally
in this newsgroup [rec.games.chess.misc], as well as celebrated
worldwide on our chess club's Web site. Indeed, early registration (at
least 48 hours in advance!) for the tournament is easiest by visiting
our Web site; Follow the link "online tournament signup".
Players of all skill levels, from the greenest beginner to rated
Master, are invited to compete in this tournament. Tournament
registration, on the day of the tournament, begins at 1:00 PM and ends
promptly at 1:30 PM. The tournament will take place at the Exposition
Park Library, located in close vicinity to the University of Southern
California [http://www.lapl.org/branches/maps/06-m.html].
The Library's address and contact information is:
Exposition Park Regional Library
3665 S. Vermont Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90007
Tel: 1 323 732 0169
Fax: 1 213 612 0540
The Library, with its ample lot parking, opens on Sunday at 1:00
PM, the same time at which in-person tournament registration begins.
Competitors should arrive early so that no delays occur.
By playing in this tournament, you will pursue the glorious,
ascend to greatness, found a country, define a new triumph, elect
Ralph Nader President - well, maybe not the Nader/President thing.
Let nothing deter you! Come to this Sunday's May 4th tournament
for a most challenging time of lchess playing!
P.S.: Because of the large attendance that we've had at various of our
previous tournaments, it is strongly advised that if you want to be
certain of being able to play, you should BRING YOUR OWN CHESS SET,
BOARD, AND CLOCK!!
