Tournament news

Thanks to all who came to the NM Class tournament in Eldorado. La Tienda proved to be a great new playing site and I will try to get another tournament there soon. Maybe the Santa Fe Open in October?
Meanwhile our new season starts in May. Chad tells me that the match against Colorado is planned for May 19th. So I will try to book the library for May 12th and May 19th is the second choice if that date is unavailable.

NM Class Championships

On March 17th and 18th we will be holding the class tournament in Destiny Allison Fine Arts space in La Tienda, in Eldorado, near Santa Fe. Play 5 rounds against those in your rating class, G/90 plus 5 seconds delay. Rounds are at 10, 1:45 and 5 on Saturday and 10 and 1:45 on Sunday.
Each class contains those rated within a spread of 200 points. Expert 2000 - 2200, Class A 1800 - 2000, B 1600 - 1800, C 1400 - 1600 D 1200 - 1400 and E 1000 - 1200. If there are enough entries then classes are paired as distinct sections, while classes could be grouped together if numbers are lower. Prizes should be $150 for each class champion based on 10 entries per class. Class Champions A through E will be invited to represent New Mexico in the annual match against Colorado in the summer.
