There will be no chess club meeting September 3rd but we will meet September 10th, when our rated Copa del Menlo tournament begins (see the Events page to register now).

Interesting position from the January 26th club meeting

The following position occurred in a game between Umit (white) and Jerome (black) at the club during our January 26th meeting, with black to move. One of those interesting tactical positions which seems like a slam dunk unless one gets mired in variations (which may have happened to Jerome as he ended up losing a piece and the game)–kudos to Umit for defending the white side of this position! We don’t have the full game score, regrettably, but you can check out Stockfish’s assessment if you wish to see the winning lines: https://lichess.org/study/1ShXhIsG/39d8rNky.

Black to move and win
