Re: Saturday Blitz: March 6

The trend lately is for more players rated below 2,000 joining the fray. This past Saturday there were four with one late-comer from Bulgaria who wants to play this Saturday and who is about 1850. Now is the time to jump in and not be intimidated by a phalanx of masters out for your scalp. The monthly Montreal blitz seems to have a much more modest median rating and that seems to be the better way to popularize blitz chess as well as other forms of chess. See you Saturday:) - Vlad
