Tuesday April 14th 2026

 37 players graced our tables tonight.

Jim Malafouris was the drawn jackpot but was denied by Danny in the first round.

Sadra was indeed a giantslayer as he took down ladder leader Robbie thus depriving him off 118 points.

Gary suggested, and the group accepted by a large majority, that observers could point out illegal moves.

Our club rules now state:

Spectators may point out an illegal move to the players. Spectators shall otherwise remain silent, no comments being permitted. Spectators who observe improprieties or irregularities during a match should discuss them in private with the TD. A player may request the TD to bar one or more spectators from viewing his or her match.

Tuesday April 7th 2026

 Down to 31 players tonight, possibly due to the Easter long weekend.

Sadra was drawn twice tonight, both as the giantslayer against Robbie Baudish and as tonight's jackpot player. In spite of three wins, however, Sadra only managed 3rd place keeping the $500 jackpot safe for the time being.

The player of the month for March was identified as Morteza who also won $2000 from the RSL.

 38 players graced our tables tonight.

Adam was the drawn jackpot and, after a resounding win over Sean in the first round was beginning to feel confident. The confidence was reinforced after a good win over Sadra in the second round. But in the final round Farshad put paid to Adam's ambitions and the jackpot remains intact...for now.
