As the club closes in on two years membership has settled in at 50-60 and we're still attracting new players. To give you and idea of the number of new faces showing up a regular member made the comment last week that "I'm standing in the club that I've been coming to for a year and I don't recognize anyone!" Attendance has been around 25 players each week with around 18 playing in the weekly tournament.
We've now held 44 rated events in the 20 months the club has been in existance. The strength of the club is increasing and the club championship which starts on the 26th should be very competitive.
The facelift I gave the website at the end of the year seems to have worked out well both in being easier for me to update and being easier to navigate. The coolest feature is broadcasting the top board live each week. A couple newer members have started helping and contributing and has made it possible for us to do more.
This should be another good year of chess in Columbia!
