chess players.
This coming first Saturday of the month, Aug. 2nd, 2008, will be
the occasion of a free, unrated, open, three-round chess tournament.
Cash prizes will *NOT* be awarded, but the names of the winners will
be published in the Los Angeles area print media, posted
transnationally in this Usenet newsgroup [rec.games.chess.misc], as
well as celebrated worldwide on our chess club's Web site. Indeed,
early registration (at least 48 hours in advance!) for the tournament
is easiest by visiting or Web site; Follow the link "online tournament
