The Rock Creek Council Knights of Columbus will be holding our Fall Charity Chess Tournament on Sunday, 16 November, 2025 at the Rock Creek Mansion (5417 West Cedar Lane, Bethesda MD 20814).   Please see the attached flyer, which you can print and post at your school, for tournament and registration information.   Some things I want to point out: 

Format: The tournament is intended to be a low-stress chess event, for experienced players looking for competitive play and also for players that may be new to chess looking to gain experience in a tournament setting.  

Promotion:  Please tell chess players that you know about this event, print the attached flyer and post it in the room where your chess club meets, send a copy of the flyer home with your chess club members, and forward this email to other players you know.  We count on you spreading the word for the tournament to be well attended - thank you.

Registration:  To register, email your name, grade, and school name to the tournament coordinator at mhoulihankofcrockcreekchess@gmail.com.  Registration will close the day before the tournament - no tournament-day registrations.

Thanks everyone - we are looking forward to seeing you in November.  Hope you're having a happy Labor Day weekend and a good start to your school year.
