Chess Players Rule!

You make excellent executive decisions, relish complexity, and
foresee what is most crucial and relevant.
We, the devoted, daring, and driven members of the Exposition Park
Chess Club consider you a kindred spirit. We warmly invite your
participation in our chess club.
This coming first Sunday of the month, Jan. 7th, 2007, will be the
occasion of a free, unrated, open, three-round chess tournament. Cash
prizes will *NOT* be awarded, but the names of the winners will be
published in the Los Angeles area print media, posted transnationally
in this major, chess-related Usenet newsgroup [rec.games.chess.misc],
as well as celebrated worldwide on our chess club's Web site
[http://chess.expoparkla.com/]. Indeed, early registration (at least 48
hours in advance!) for the tournament is easiest by visiting our chess
club's Web site; Follow the link "online tournament signup".
Players of all skill levels, from beginner to rated Master, are
invited to compete in this tournament. Tournament registration, on the
day of the tournament, begins at 1:00 PM and ends promptly at 1:30 PM.
The tournament will take place at the Exposition Park Library
[http://www.lapl.org/branches/06.html], located in close vicinity to
the USC campus [http://www.lapl.org/branches/maps/06-m.html].
The Library's address and contact information is:

Exposition Park Regional Library
3665 S. Vermont Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90007
Tel: 1 323 732 0169
Fax: 1 213 612 0540

The Library, with its ample lot parking, opens on Sunday at 1:00
PM, the same time at which in-person tournament registration begins.
Competitors should arrive early so that no delays occur.
By playing in this tournament you will astound your friends,
confound your enemies, raise the winds, bring rapture to the joyous,
give the Democrats an actual political agenda - well, maybe not the
Democrats/political agenda thing.
Let nothing deter you! Come to this Sunday's tournament for a
most challenging time of chess playing!

P.S.: Because of the large attendance that we've had at various of our
previous tournaments, it is strongly advised that if you want to be
certain of being able to play, you should BRING YOUR OWN CHESS SET,
BOARD, AND CLOCK!!
