National Chess Day and Weibel Quads

October 13 is National Chess Day.  Since the Weibel Quads is going to be held on October 13, a couple of extra events and attractions will take place during this tournament.

First of all, the tournament itself - this year, the Quads is split up into two tournaments at two different locations, the U1300 version of the Quads which is at Weibel Elementary, and the 1300+ version of the Quads, which this year will be held nearby, less than a mile west on Grimmer at the new Norcal House of Chess.

Registration here and Advanced Entries here.

There will also be two simultaneous exhibitions given by the two players from Fremont who will be representing the USA at the World Youth tournament in Slovenia in November, Kevin Moy and Joanna Liu.  Both are former attendees of Weibel Elementary.  Also, numerous members of the Weibel coaching staff and Norcal House of Chess staff will be on hand to go over games with the children.  Among the members who will be present - IM Ricardo De Guzman, FM Ronald Cusi, WFM Uyanga Byambaa, and Expert Francisco Anchondo.  There may be other chess-related activites going on throughout the day, so stay tuned.
