2018 USATS

Once again we're nearing the annual United States Amateur Team Championship dates. This year the South edition will once again be held in Kissimmee, Florida. (That's basically south Orlando for those that may be reading this but don't know Central Florida. It's Walt Disney World's back yard or front porch, depending on how you want to look at it.)

Once again Jon Haskel of the Boca Raton Chess Club is organizing and directing the event. The tournament flyer can be found here, and other information can be found here. Additionally, over to the right you will see that I have added a page with some of this information, so it can always be found quickly even as this post moves down the page. That page of information can be found at this link.

Be sure to get the word out to anyone that might not here about the tournament through other means, and start putting your teams together! We're already working on ours.

BOOOOOM! MAGNUS!

A French chess livestreamer finds out he's playing Magnus Carlsen online. A Grob is assayed. Hilarity ensues.
