April 2nd will be the last tournament Rick organises in Santa Fe before taking off for new adventures in another town. If you are reading this you probably already know it, but he created the SFR and has run monthly tournaments in Santa for about 2 years now.
I hope you will all turn out for this one.

Feb 12 Tournament cancelled
For a variety of reasons, I am disappointed to announce the cancellation of the Feb 12 G/29 tournament.
There are several other exciting events this month, including the Feb 25-27 Southern Rocky FIDE Open in Albuquerque. See www.SouthernRockyOpen.com to register.
We may replace the April 2 Fools Tourney with a G/29. Please let me know which is preferable at ricklass@newmexico.com.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

Tournament Saturday, January 22
The next tournament is this Saturday, Jan 22, at the Nancy Rodriguez Community Center in Agua Fria (Santa Fe). The center is at #1 Prairie Dog Loop, off County Road 62, between Highway 599 and Agua Fria St. (CR 62 is also called Caja del OroGrant Rd.)For those coming from out of town, the best route is probably to take 599 to CR 62, and follow that. It involves a couple of turns, so if you have trouble finding it on googlemaps, please don't hesitate to call me at 505-920-0540. From the south, take a right at the CR62 exit, then a left where the road ends, a right at the first opportunity (Caja del Oro Grant Rd), and the site is on the right just after the fire station.
The format has changed slightly from the original announcement, as several people more experienced with blitz suggested making it a dual round robin to allow for more games. Thus, each round listed below includes two games, one each as white and black.
10:00-10:20-- registration (onsite registrations allowed, and check in for preregistered players)
round times--- 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30.
Please note there is no scheduled lunch break. There is a refrigerator and stove onsite, if you'd like to bring a snack.
So far, we only have a couple of registrations in, Wayne Hatcher, fresh off his grandmaster draw, and Sam Dooley. If you think you are registered and I didn't name you, please let me know ASAP and I will add your name to the list.
If you know you will be playing, please let me know so the morning setup can go more smoothly. You can sign up here, or call me at 505-920-0540
I believe we will be using this site for the remainder of the season, which will help us keep the announcements coming in a more timely manner for future tournaments.
