We had a very nice turnout for our first meeting, where we introduced our plans for further club development and the acquisition of necessary materials, which should be nearly fully settled! We also showed a game review of one of the most famous games in historical chess, the game of the century between Bobby Fischer and Donald Byrne, where at just 13 years old, Fisher beat the very accomplished US representative at multiple world chess olympiads, Donald Byrne. Next Wednesday, we plan to host many in-person games, along with some puzzle solving.
