Sasata Simul Results

27 people showed up on Saturday to face Sasata. In the end Robert's score was 22 wins, 3 losses, and 4 draws (2 people played Robert twice and lost twice). Kevin Me was the first person to defeat Robert and as a result claimed the $100 prize.

Jason Danner and Steve Cavan also defeated Sasata, both taking advantage of Robert's mistakes in relatively equal positions. Gluckie, MacKinnon, Blum and Josh Timm drew their games.

All in all it was a great event. The mall at Lawson Heights was an ideal location to give the Saskatoon Chess Club some much needed exposure, and $135 was raised for the BATB.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the club and the BATB. An especially big thank you to the organizing committee who worked tirelessly to pull the simul off, and of course to Robert Sasata who made the whole thing possible.

A New Beginning

I'll post a more detailed story later, but in short, I got the beginnings of the New Improved (tm) SCC web site last night. All user accounts, stories, and polls were migrated to the new site, but there is still lots to do.

The ultimate plan is to turn what you are looking at now into oldscc.saskchess.com, but in the meantime, please check out The New SCC Web Site (http://newscc.saskchess.com). You should be able to login and post news articles. After you login, click on the "Create Content" link, and from there, create a new Story.

In the meantime, if you could refrain from posting new articles on this page (unless it's something really current and important), it would be much appreciated, since anything posted since last night (including this post) will have to be transferred to the new site by hand.

By the way, I also created new versions of the SCA and SSCA web site. You can see them at http://sca.saskchess.com and http://newssca.saskchess.com respectively.

Venue Announced for 2008 BATB

After visiting a couple hotels and touring their banquet rooms, I've decided to hold the Battle at the Border in Lakeland College for the second year in a row. For the price, no one else in Lloydminster even compares to the College. Moreover, Lakeland College is quiet, spacious, and easy to get to.

The Upcoming Events page has been updated with this new information. Check it out if you're interested.

Also, be sure to sign up for the 2008 Battle by sending me an email. Pre-registering will save you money off your entry fee.
