Westfield Cancels Events March 15th & 22nd

At the request of the YMCA, the Westfield Chess Club will be closed on March 15th and March 22nd.

Tournaments scheduled for those dates have been canceled.

This is a precautionary public health measure.

No TD or player has shown symptoms of illness and, to my knowledge, no one has been exposed to COVID-19.

Stay well, everyone!

Sincerely,
John Moldovan

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
