Yet Another New Location for 2009
We will no longer meet in the Pasadena Senior Center
The Pasadena Chess Club will move to a new site as it celebrates its 80th anniversary. Beginning on April 3, after the Club Championship, we will meet in the Elmer and Teen Slavik Memorial Building at the Boys and Girls Club, 3230 East Del Mar, Pasadena 91107�(between Rosemead Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd). It's on the south side of Del Mar. Use the west driveway to enter and the east driveway to exit. There is a large parking lot we can use, but occasional events in other buildings on Friday nights might not leave enough parking for everybody, but there is no time limit & no charge for parking on the streets after 6:00 PM, including Del Mar in front of the Boys & Girls Club.
The club will meet from 6:45 to 11:00 PM. Anticipate that start time for all games will move to 7 PM sharp, so we can get out by 11 PM with the same time control we use now (40/90, SD/30).
At the meeting on April 3, 2009, the members of the Pasadena Chess Club elected the following people, to fill the 5 offices defined in the club constitution:
|
President and Tournament Director |
Randy Hough |
| Vice President | Gordon Brooks |
|
Vice President and Tournament Director |
Raymond Boncato |
| Secretary | Tim Thompson |
| Treasurer | Neil Hultgren |
When? Friday nights opening at 6:45 PM, tournament games start promptly at 7:00 PM. Check the schedule below to make sure we are not closed.
Where? Boys and Girls Club, 3230 East Del Mar, Pasadena 91107 (between Rosemead Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd). See description at the top of this page.
The Pasadena Chess Club is one of the older chess clubs still extant in Southern California. During the 1930's the club successfully hosted a number of international competitions, which included the participation of Alexander Alekhine, then world chess champion. Recent events include successful simultaneous exhibitions by SM Levon Altunian and IM Jack Peters (chess columnist for the Los Angeles Times), and the Tim Pellant Memorial Masters Open.
