4/13 - THREE HOURS OF EATING, DRINKING, LEARNING CHESS, WINNING PRIZES, AND HAVING FUN. SPECIAL GUEST GM VLADIMIR GEORGIEV
15 students are already registered for this event. There are just 15 spots left.
On 4/13 we are going to organize the biggest chess event at the Saint Petersburg Chess Club. Thanks to our Sponsors and Donators for the 5th time, we are going to give more than we collect from entry fees. We started with 3 Jeopardies, which were free for the members of the club, and we gave prizes of $400 for each Jeopardy. At the 3/8 tournament, we gave a record prize of $1400 for the winners and that was $500 more than we collected from entry fees.
Here are the details for the event on 4/13:
Three chess coaches, Joseph Lazarus, Timotey Gospodinov and GM Vladimir Georgiev, will have a chess lesson for 1 hour each. During the lessons, we will have extra prizes for the most active students. We will have lessons for all levels. We will provide free food and drinks for all students. After the three lessons are over, the audience will vote as to who gave the best lecture, and that lecturer will get an additional $100. We will have raffles with at least 5 winners, with the biggest prize being $100 (or more).
Students can play chess games each other or with coaches after the lessons and the raffles are done!
