Hello Everyone,

The Marysville Chess Club's Frenemy tournament started round one yesterday (25 Jan 2025). The Frenemy tournament really grew and this year we saw the largest participation in the history of the Frenemy. Thank you all for your participation. This is such a fun event that has gained a lot of popularity. You may click on the US Chess link for the results and you may click on the Lichess link for a fun analysis of some of the games. Analysis performed by Howard Dixon.

Our 2024 Christmas Simul for donations Performed by Howard Dixon, was a great success. Howard won 8 games, lost 5 and drew 4. Not bad results for his first simul. Nice job Howard! Not only did Howard do well in the simul but he also sprung for pizza. Thank you to everyone that donated food and money for this wonderful event. We had pizza, chocolate chip cookies (homemade) cheesecakes, donuts, tea, hot chocolate, carbonated beverages and great chess. Oh and I learned a painful lesson, never play Trevor in speed chess. I played a zillion speed games with him and lost every one of them. Ugh. I truly had a great time. Thank you to everyone for your participation and donations!! I will be adding a link to some of the games once Howard and Jimmy process them. Until then, enjoy some photos---
