& Organized by the Pittsburgh Chess League.

The new PCL season is rapidly approaching. Or-

ganizational flyers will be sent out to team captains in

late August. That mailing will include last year’s roster

with the official September ratings for all of the returning

players. The USCF ratings now come out monthly, so I

will be waiting until the September ratings are available -

around August 25 - to mail the captains their informa-

tion. We will be having our organizational meeting to turn

in new rosters on Thursday September 11 in the Con-

course Dining Area of the William Pitt Union at the Uni-

versity of Pittsburgh at 7pm.

For most teams, that means individual players

should be getting in contact with their team captain. And

in particular, it is always helpful for captains to know

both who is interested in playing again this fall and who

may be playing for a different team or taking a year off

from chess.

For team captains, if electronic communication is

adequate and paper mailings are unnecessary for you,

please let me know so that we can save on our expenses.

Also, please note that my address has changed as

of August 17, so make sure that you send rosters, mem-

berships, etc. to my new address: 25 Freeport Street,

Pittsburgh PA 15223-2245.
