Here is Leo from the Kashiwara Chess Club. Just wanted to let everybody know that due to circumstances on the winery side we can't have a chess meeting on 8th July. The 6th wine cup will be on 1st July but after that we are about to enter a summer break. I am thinking of doing some hiking & chess or BBQ & chess. Just looking for good places right now. Hope we can make that happen in August or September. Anyway I let you guys know when I made up my mind and have some concrete info for you. Be it at a tournament, a chess meeting or at some other event - I am really looking forward to seeing everybody again soon.
Next and last rapid tournament this year organized by the Kashiwara Chess Club will be on 1st July (Sat). Don't miss the fun. Thanks everybody for participating! See you next time!
