Comments
Hi - I'll be visiting from CA end of July thru August 12 and was wondering if your club will be hosting some play during my stay. That is, are Wednesdays still chess club night BAM in Bangor? I'm around 1600 uscf and 1800 ICC. I have 133 wins in ICC (internet chess club) simuls vs titled players and just yesterday 6/23/18 I beat GM John Fedorowicz in a 13 board simul as black in a French Tarrasch.
Best,
Jim
