On behalf of the club , I appreciate every player that showed up on the practice session(s).

Today's practice session, player's keep showing up on a Saturday but they are here to play their best games and learn . It's called discipline, and chess is a game of rules . If your house doesn't have rules then it's not a house. Chess have a house it's called "House of Chess. Your house,your rules.My rule is simple if you don't show up on practice, don't show up on game because it's clear you don't know what matters.
