WEIBEL CHESS TEAM MESSAGE FROM DR. KIRSHNER

ALL:
We will have chess this Friday, November 4 at the normal time--starting ay 2:50 until 5:30 PM.  We always have chess on minimal days.  We only miss chess on the days Weibel is closed.  This means no school on November 11-Veterans Day  & no school November 25-Thanksgiving break.  It is really really important you do come on November 4 as we must prepare for the required CalChess State Grade Level, December 3 and 4.  We are trying to set up some special training sessions for the Thanksgiving break for those who will still be here.

Grades K-3 play ONLY on Sunday, December 4.  Yes, that is a change from previous years when K-3 played only on Saturday.  I have no idea why the change.  The good news is that we no longer have to drive to Stockton.  The tournament will be at the Santa Clara Convention Center <note from editor:  offically at the Hyatt Regency Hotel which is next door to the Santa Clara Convention Center>

I will be sending at a short summary of what occurred at the Junior Congress this weekend that for those who ATTENDED WE ARE RECOVERING FROM.  I have made two decisions this weekend that I hope will help us to do better at the Grade Level this year. ONE--I have agreed to have a special Weibel program within Chess Magnet School.  This will be free to ALL Weibel students.  If it works out the first month, I will cover the cost from your tuition to continue for the year. SECOND--For the rest of this month I am going to allow anyone over 800 and under 1200 in k-4 to attend Demetrius' preparation for the Nationals class on Tuesdays(no cost).  If the group is too large I will bring someone else in.  Sri will be calling all those who qualify soon.
