Marshall Chess Club 100th Anniversary 1915-2015
Press Release
Aug. 28, 2015
100 Years Young!
This fall we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Marshall Chess Club, and we hope you will join us!
A series of centennial events will take place over the next few months. These will be kicked off with an article about the club in the September issue of Chess Life. The article was written by Dr. Frank Brady, past President and President Emeritus, and details some of our rich history.
Events this fall will include:
September 8 a lecture by Roberto Mayor (President of the Capablanca Chess Club) and Miguel A. Sanchez (author of a book on Jose Raul Capablanca) will precede a match between players from London and Cuba against Marshall Members.
September 22 is the Night of Champions, which will be a gala evening. All former Marshall Chess Club champions have been invited. Grandmaster (and former Champion!) Maurice Ashley will host the festivities!
September 25 the Marshall will hold the 2nd Robert Byrne Memorial Blitz Tournament.
Special guest lectures will be held on October 27th and December 1st.
In November we are reviving the Junior Club Championship. This will proceed our annual Club Championship, featuring an increased prize fund, in December.
_______
The Club is at 23 W 10th St #2, New York City 10011.
That Chess Life issue commemorating the Club looks like a sure collector’s item.
