We have been given a limited number of passes that will turn into tickets for the JAX area private screening of this exciting new movie at two theaters.  Thursday (22nd) at AMC Orange Park Mall and next week Tuesday night (27th) at Regal Avenues (on Phillips) There are only a few openings for either night and a confirmation from JAXCC email must be received in order to assure entry. There will not be any sales - passes only.

Upon reaching Disney representatives, they were excited to hear that we would hold a chess exhibition of speed chess in the theater lobby to showcase local chess involvement. All confirmed will be asked to arrive 1 hour early to take part in the demonstration. We will hand out flyers about our club, chess training and upcoming events.

If interested please email the club at jaxchessclub@gmail.com and wait for a response to confirm reservation.

We just ran the report from the United States Chess Federation (USCF) and we are happy to inform everyone that we continue to make a huge impact on chess in our region of the state. 171 unique players have participated in our rated tournaments like Tuesday night Urban Bean - a free weekly tournament, Scholastic Series (9 events) or Saturday monthly tournaments like Jacksonville City Champion or the new North Florida Open.

In our short time we set out to impact our region with high quality monthly events that offer variety like Blitz, Dual rated time controls and longer. We still have to reschedule our Quick Rated event and our Girls/Ladies Only tournament. We launched a Sunday Kids Club and offered chess classes to beginners and early intermediate level players too. All of this and we're just beginning year two of our restart.

More good things to come. Players Ranks AUG 2016 to see the full list of JAXCC players.

Due to a discovered conflict with another club's event, we are cancelling  our's out of respect for the Ocala Chess Club booking that date first. Their Summer event had been scheduled for this date in advance of our published schedule originally being set for August 15th (a Monday). We changed our date to Saturday upon discovering the error, but we just recognized Ocala had already chosen this date and issued fliers before we updated our event calendar.

It is our belief there is more than enough room on calendars in northern Florida to avoid conflict.

Email Bruce at sk8nmaniacb@aol.com for information about the Ocala event this Saturday.
