MUG AND ANCHOR ACTIVE CHESS TOURNAMENT
The Mug and Anchor Active
was completed April 14, with Steve Saunders
taking first place. It was played at a leasurely pace Tuesday
nights at 6:00pm at the Mug and Anchor Pub, Mader's Wharf in Mahone
Bay, NS, spitting distance from the North Atlantic Ocean. This is
the regular meeting time and place for the Lunenburg Chess Club.
Active chess is a "faster" version of the game played with a chess clock. Each side must complete their moves in half hour. Otherwise they loose on time.
A more complete report is available on line.
Let the games begin. Players young and old compete. There's no generation gap in chess. People from 7 to 70 have played chess here! You can learn to play at almost any age!
Here Garnet Bezanson plays Steve Saunders. Players eager to improve their strength record their moves for review afterwards!
Everyone is welcome! Chess players enjoy a friendly game of chess, or a more "serious" game using a clock to limit that thinking time on moves. Club members always enjoy helping a new player.
There's plenty of room for you to join us!

We would like to thank Fran and the Mug and Anchor, for allowing us to meet at their fine English Style Pub! We would also like to thank Gregory Grammer and Reading Grounds for allowing us to meet in their coffee shop and book store over the summer. We are very sorry to see them close!
