50+ World Senior Team Championship 2019
April 22, 2019
I have been reminded that Canada has a team at this event, taking place at the Olympic Palace Conference Centre, Rhodes 16-24 April, 2019.
The official website is:
http://rodoschess2019.com
and there appears to be a picture of the Colossus of Rhodes, with this Latin tag:
Hic Rhodus, hic salta
which means, here is Rhodes, jump here. Perhaps some classicist can elucidate.
