NorthEast Chess
12-15-2003

Hi 

I'm Dr. Severine Wamala, the organizer of NorthEast Chess events.

The NorthEast Chess events are designed for chess players of all ages and all ratings to have maximum FUN!!!  Pizza and soda is provided free for the one-day tournaments and club prizes are an additional touch to the Weekend-Getaway tournaments.

The first Getaway weekend was held February 2-4, 2001 with guaranteed prize fund of $15,500.  At the conclusion of the first Getaway, I received frequent requests to host monthly events. I honored those requests.

In April of 2001 I expanded the program to hold monthly events to provide players around the NorthEast area with well-planned chess tournaments at a nice venue so that they can conveniently make their plans to enjoy weekend chess once a month.  We have had good turn outs and a lot of chess has been enjoyed at this venue thanks to the support of you, the chess players. If you haven’t attended one, come and see why players keep coming back.  All tournament results are posted at the MACA website, www.MassChess.org in the cross table pages the next day and the USCF cross table is posted as soon as it is received, usually about 4 weeks later.

Chess players have enjoyed the monthly tournaments and asked if I could do additional Getaway Weekends.  So, to satisfy their desire for more of the Getaway format events, I’ve added three more.  We now have the Fall Getaway, Winter Getaway, Spring Getaway and Summer Getaway, all at $55/night hotel room. 

I am here to serve the chess community and I am looking for your support by continuing to attend or by starting to attend the North East Chess tournaments.
