Right now we are finishing up our Club Championship which is a double round robin with 13 players. January 2006 will kick off a new year and we will resume our 2d Tuesday Tournaments and currently are discussing Saturday tournaments. Hopefully we will be doing a better job at getting the word out on this site.

April 14th looks like a good day for me! If everyone agrees, I can try to get a couple of rooms for that day.

April 14th sounds good. We can call it “The Tax Evasion Open”. When we get the date nailed down tell me and I’ll post it on the KCA website.

Anyone up for the challenge?
From: Chess TV > To: ---deleted--- > Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 3:54 AM > Subject: Blitz Chess!! the TV Pilot to be filmed in Cincinnati! > > > Calling all Chess Clubs and Players! > > A groundbreaking event is about to occur in Cincinnati that could turn the world of Chess upside down and storm the masses! > > Sometime during the month of April or May (the date will be determined just a bit later) I will be filming a pilot episode of Blitz Chess!! > > With a 'one and done' style of tournament with random pairings and a very fast 5 minute time control emotions will run high, and you must play to win because there are NO DRAWS!! If there are two kings on the board or insufficient mating material, the person with the most time left on the clock will be declared the winner! So play fast, and play smart! > > You do not need to be a member of the USCF to play, and the entree fee is a nominal $10 with 70% of the entry going to the sole survivor of the tournament, the rest being absorbed into production cost. > > This will be filmed in a WPT / Reality Show style so bring your charisma, your competitive spirit and your best trash talk to the table. The top 16-32 players (depending on the head count) will be spotlighted with interviews and thoughts of the game and the opponent, as well as being taped one match at a time so others can gather around and watch and give that "big time" feeling. > > This will be a one day blitz tournament that will air for 4 weeks (if picked up by a station) with the last week being the championship game. > > Please pass this along to all you know! And PLEASE e-mail me back with ANY questions you may have, this is in it's pre-production stages and things can change from here forward. A location for this has yet to be determined, so any suggestions on that are definitely welcome! > > I truly believe that chess could be much much more than it is now, and I think that this is one way to promote the game. No longer will people think of chess and imagine "geeks with pocket protectors". They will see the diverse nature that we know this game has, and the excitement and heartbreak that goes along with it. > > If you don't really know how to play, but want to try for a spot on TV, then come on down and join the fun!! We want people new to the game to take part in this, it's open to all ages and skill levels! > > Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope that you will participate in this event. > > Again, please e-mail me with any questions you may have! I will be sending more details shortly. > > Sincerely, > Joe Hempel > Focal Point Productions > Blitz Chess!!: Who Said Chess was Boring!
