With just a handful of players, Jay, Jonathan, Bryant, Wilson, Miguel Angel and Mei Jing, Caissa started its first meeting on Thursday June 7 2011. It is very good to see that all these players are still our core members!

Yet, last Thursday was the end of the Thursday meetings. With the ever very kind cooperation from the North Plaza Community Center BMSE we can now make use of the largest room on Saturdays which allows us to hold the Beginners and Intermediate meetings at the same place and time.

We are sure this will benefit the atmosphere and the opportunities to play more games with more equally skilled players. Our best Beginners can play against some Intermediate players and envision their pipeline of progress.

Speaking of which, both Ian and Rafe keep on marching away from the rest. As they again both won their games they are now both leading with 6 points but Rafe having played one match less. How shall this end …?
