Please note: We were unable to submit this tournament on time for rating so it will be rated one week later than normal (About Wednesday December 5th). Sorry about that.

Constantine won the fast tournament held in Hamilton on September 22, 2017. Congratulations!

During our AGM we kept the same board of directors but added Kaden Rashid to our executive. Welcome to leadership Kaden!

The only major change at the AGM: Under the stern direction of Robert Gillanders club members agreed to put away their chairs and chess equipment after their games. No bullying here!

Thanks to everyone who came to our AGM/Fast tournament. Now its back to um..serious chess!

This Friday at the Hamilton City Chess Club (Friday September 22) we will be hold our Annual Meeting and then a free 10 minute chess tournament that is open to anyone from the public. Our meeting will go from 7:30pm to about 8:30pm and then we will start the chess tournament asap after that.

Issues to be included in the discussion:
-election of our chess club's executive
-should we have more tournaments (on Fridays) with cash prizes/trophies (and therefore higher entry fees)?
-Our need for more volunteers
-Should our Friday tournaments have sections?

If there are other issues you would like to see discussed please comment here or email chesshamilton@gmail.com
Members can also bring up issues at the meeting
