Are you an utterly obsequious coward? We, the partisans, paladins, and protagonists of the Exposition Park Chess Club very greatly desire the attendance of brave chess players.

This coming first Sunday of the month, March 7th, 2010, will be the occasion of a free, unrated, open, three-round chess tournament. Cash prizes will *NOT* be awarded, but the names of the winners will be published in the March 14th edition chess column of the Los Angeles Times newspaper, posted transnationally in a major, chess-related Usenet newsgroup, as well as celebrated worldwide on our chess club's Web site. Indeed, early registration (at least 48 hours in advance!) for the tournament is easiest by visiting our Web site; Follow the link for online tournament signup.

Players of all skill levels, from the greenest beginner to rated Master, are invited to compete in this tournament. Tournament registration, on the day of the tournament, begins at 1:00 PM and ends promptly at 1:30 PM. The tournament will take place at the Exposition Park Library, located near USC.

The Library's address and contact information is:

          Exposition Park Regional Library
          3900 S. Western Ave.
          Los Angeles, CA 90062
          Tel: 323 290 3113
          Fax: 323 290 3153

The Library, with its ample lot parking, opens on Sunday at 1:00 PM, the same time at which in-person tournament registration begins. Competitors should arrive early so that no delays, chaos, or confusion occurs.

  DON'T COME LATE!!!

By playing in this tournament you will soar to the stratosphere, commit love poety, found an endowment for world peace, commune with Heaven, restore the solvency of the Los Angeles city budget - well, maybe not the LA budget solvency thing.

Let nothing deter you! Come to the Sunday, March 7th, 2010, tournament for a most challenging time of chess playing!

Because of the large attendance that we've had at various of our previous tournaments, it is strongly advised that if you want to be certain of being able to play, you should BRING YOUR OWN CHESS SET, BOARD, AND CLOCK!
