Summons to Chess Tourney!

Are you an utterly obsequious coward? We, the partisans,
paladins, and protagonists of the Exposition Park Chess Club [http://
chess.expoparkla.com/] very greatly desire the attendance of brave
chess players.
This coming first Sunday of the month, Feb. 4th, 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 Feb. 11th in the Los Angeles area print media, posted
transnationally in this Usenet newsgroup [rec.games.chess.misc], as
well as celebrated worldwide on our chess club's Web site [http://
chess.expoparkla.com/]. Indeed, early regisistration (at least 48
hours in advance!) for the tournament is easiest by visiting our Web
site; Follow the link "online tournament signup".
Players of all skill levels, from the greenest 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 University of Southern California [http://www.lapl.org/
branches/maps/06-m.html].
The Library's address and contact information is:

Exposition Park Regional Library
3665 S. Vermont Avenue
Los Angeles, California 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 soar to the skies, write a
sequel to the _Kama Sutra_, set new records, refresh the weary, elect
Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency - well, maybe not the Obama/
Presidency thing.
Let nothing deter you! Come to this Sunday's, Feb. 4th 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!
