Reminder - WIM Beatriz Marinello Reception & Lecture: Tuesday, March 12, 7PM

posted Mar 12, 2013, 4:18 AM by MCC Staff

Dear Chess Friends,

We would like to remind you of tomorrow's special evening with WIM Beatriz Marinello.

Beatriz, a member of the Marshall Chess Club, is the current Vice President of the World Chess Federation (FIDE), a former President of the U.S. Chess Federation and a candidate for the upcoming USCF Executive Board elections.

Following a reception from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Beatriz will talk about the difficulty of returning to high-level competitive chess after a long semi-retirement and the challenges she faced when preparing for and competing in the 2011 U.S. Women's Championship. She will present and analyze some of her most interesting and instructive games played in that event.

We will learn about Beatriz' work at FIDE and will have the chance to ask questions about world chess politics. Beatriz will also share her vision for the USCF including how she plans to support chess clubs such as the Marshall.

If you are unable to attend tomorrow's event but would like to support Beatriz in the upcoming USCF elections you are required to register at https://secure2.uschess.org/voter-registration.php by March 30, 2013. It is an easy process - USCF members aged 16 and older only need their USCF ID and date of birth.

Regards,

Your Marshall Chess Club
