Dear Trekkers –

Although the feedback was generally very positive about the location of the August 14th Trek, due to logistical reasons we will not be able to host any further Master Trek tournaments at the Hyatt. ALL Master Treks for the remainder of the year will be held at ASU — PSA 118 Building. We apologize for the inconvenience…

Please join us on September 11th for the Master Trek at ASU. IM Dionisio Aldama will be competing in the top section, along with all the regular Trekkers!

The Arizona Scorpions are 2-0 to start the 2010 US Chess League Season. NEXT MATCH: Tuesday, September 7th at Abstrax in Mesa. Come out and watch some competitive chess by the best players in the state of Arizona!
