Matches At W. Orange Re-scheduled

Due to the installation of a new floor at the Toby Katz Community Center, the West Orange Chess Club will be closed on Tuesday, January 3rd.

Therefore, the Garden State Chess League matches scheduled for that date have been postponed.
The building will re-open on January 10th and that will be the new date for Hamilton vs. W. Orange and Newark-McDonald`s vs. Essex County College.

Happy New Year to all!
