Club Events  

   The Woodbury chess club will be starting the annual Club Championship on February 22, 2000.  We are taking a different approach this year.   The members of the club took a vote and have decided to play two rounds of swiss instead of our usual one round.  There were several reason for this.  Last year, it was found that at the end of the Swiss, the top players were playing mostly the lower rated players.  As a result of this, the competition did not seem to warrant the game as it should be.  A change of pace is another good reason.  It is not likely that you will be playing a player that you played in the first swiss the second time around.
