An important update! This year's state open is NOT being played in Plymouth, where is has been held the last few years. Due to a conflict, it is being moved to the Crown Plaza in downtown St. Paul. The same site as last year's Region Six. The old Radisson, where the 2000 US Open was held. This was a very nice site for the Region Six. Chess is an urban game and should be played in the heart of a city. This is good news for our green/mass transit comrades. And there is plenty of free parking on Sunday. TCCL round 5 results, round 6 pairings Gold: Caro Kant drew with Champions of the Castle and no longer has a perfect match record but maintains a commanding lead. ....................... Silver: Dos Cheques continues to dominate by defeating Gloryhole by a score of 3.5-0.5. .......................... The Bronze section is coming down to the wire.
