Let's try something new!
Saturday the 18th: Learning day!
If you want to improve your game, come out and try something new!
At the Michigan tournament, Ed Corey from the USBGF told me about something they do regularly at his club in Connecticut - social doubles! It’s 100% free and fun. We’ll pair up more experienced players with newer players or ones who want to improve their games. We’ll play something simple like a 3-point match, two-on-two, and comment on ALL our moves and cube decisions. Total collaboration on both sides of the board. It should be really fun and you get to peek inside the brain of an advanced player. No entry fee, no stake. Just learning.
If you identify as either type of player, or just want to try it, come out next Saturday.
