      Good idea Rob, let them know what time the action begins. Why didn't I think of that!

      Next time we have to come up with some colourful team names. For Calgary I'm thinking "The Calgary Knight Slayers". OK, will think of something better when I have more time.

      Did someone say carnage?

          We are going to go by the team name, based on the ramblings of one of our team (AC) "The Evolution of Chess"

            Our 4th board handle is gaborone

            Just to raise the stakes, I propose that after the 2nd match in February, the losing team must send the winning team $5,000.......

                  Yes, Brantford showed its class. They beat the crap out of us!

                  Congratulations to team Brantford. But wait, the second half of the match will take place in February so maybe we can pull even, or even better, skunk them! I just can't afford $5,000 right now.

                  I did a small write up in the newsletter which should be out Sunday evening.
