SoCA (Society of Chess Aficionados) summer of 2016 is our first ever summer, and of course we have free stuff announcements!!!
1st up: SoCA Knockout Patch!
http://www.societyofchessaficionados...ckoutpatch.jpg
Knockout Patch is a fresh new awesome something for the tournament chess scene! Knockout Patch will be awarded to those players who's opponent quits their tournament immediately following a loss and does not re-enter!
So here's an example: I play you, you beat me (like as if), I immediately quit the tournament and don't show up for the next round (or any other round in that tournament), you just qualified for a KO Patch!
Beginning Sept. 23rd the KO patch will be up for grabs! Please don't bother asking, the KO patch will never be for sale, it must be earned. And we're going to keep this one local to us Canadians for the 2016-2017 season. In late 2017 we'll open it up world wide style! And if that's not enough, we are offering a year end cash prize for largest rating differential KO!
Patches will be available in sticker and limited edition embroider. If you, or someone you know, qualifies* for the KO patch please please let us know:

2nd up: SoCA vector Chess Set!!!
Canada's 1st ever! very own! 2D vector chess set! Free download available in svg, ai, eps, jpg formats! I am soooo super stoked to finally let this one loose ... long long time in the making. It's stupidly simple. The simplest things are the hardest things to see. While holding on to centuries of tradition it moves into the future ...especially the Knight!
Check back here for updates. And to all those of you who have been so very kind tolerating my relentless pounding of Comment & Crits emails ... THX! Much love, you know it!
Release coming very very soon!
peace.

*The KO Patch requires proof of applicant's CFC rated cross table.
