Will I need to join your club and the USCF on top in order to play in a tournament? What are your recommendations for a visitor like me in order to maximize chess enjoyment and not break the bank in the process?<br /><br />Awaiting your response. All the best. <br /><br />Joel Lecorre<br />Ottawa, ON, CanadaJoël Lecorrehttp://jlecorre.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845009903340716413.post-59074184710838565372010-09-26T16:17:01.000-07:002010-09-26T16:17:01.000-07:00bkvb,

And yes, it would be perfect for a 7 year old. I believe there is a small fee but you'll have to speak with Master Bruce Baker, who runs it.<br /><br />-MarioMario Amodeohttp://obipawn.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845009903340716413.post-85333698774068891022010-01-08T15:46:50.000-08:002010-01-08T15:46:50.000-08:00Hey Guys, if you have a member called Monica Ness,...Hey Guys, if you have a member called Monica Ness, originally from England, who used to live in Colchester, Essex, tell her she owes me a couple of hundred bucks, or a cold beer.

My 7 year old son just started playing chess this summer and I would like to know if I could bring him by to play with others, especially other young players.

Most nights there are people willing to play and help you, but Sat and Weds are the big tournament nights. Swing on by and visit, don't worry about fees and costs, you cna play for free and even enter some tournies without being a SDCC member. You will need to be a USCF member though for tournies.<br /><br />There are many masters and experts who frequent the SDCC, if your looking for lessons, swing on by an meet a few.<br /><br />I don't run the Jedi Knights club on Fridays, but from what I know of the people who do, I don't think there will be any problem if you bring your grandson by.<br /><br />Mike FriedelMichael Friedelhttp://lilkinsly.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845009903340716413.post-15566027362829128512009-06-16T21:15:00.000-07:002009-06-16T21:15:00.000-07:00Fridays as the Jedi Knights Childrens' Club - ...Fridays as the Jedi Knights Childrens' Club - I will be having my 6+ yr old grandson visiting from out of town for a few days later this month (June).

Come on down and talk to people, feel out the place. I'm not sure what the policy is now, but when I joined you could play a trial tournament game or two as a house player before having to pay any sort of fee.<br /><br />The fee, I believe, is $60 (with various sorts of discounts for seniors, military, long commuters, etc.) per year. It also costs $25 or so per tournament (every six weeks or so is a new tournament), but there's a very good chance of recouping that as winnings from the tournaments, especially in tournaments with separate prizes for each given skill level.<br /><br />Basically, Wednesday evenings are the best time to drop by. Seek out the wise Chuck Ensey. He's the real heart of the operation and can probably answer just about any question you might have.Caley Andersonhttp://krazycaley.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845009903340716413.post-33475715096013963332009-01-13T10:57:07.000-08:002009-01-13T10:57:07.000-08:00I just signed up as well on this site as well.
