Lunch and Casual Chess Meetup.
Details
Hello everybody and welcome new members.
Attendance Checkin
I would like to try something new with the attendance checkin. Going forward, I will be putting the attendance sheet on a clip board with a pen. When you come in, please look for your name and put a check next to it.
If for some reason you do not see your name on the attendance sheet, please flip to a blank page and Print your First and Last name so I can read it. Remember, I am legally blind. Thank you.
For those of you who would like to play me on Chess.com or Lichess, my user name is the same on both sites. My user name is greg2010101.
I play mostly on chess.com, but I will start checking lichess more often.
For the time being the chess discord server is down. I needed to delete my discord account due to a ds.me message showing up and I could not have access to my servers and it stated that I did not exist. Fortunately I was still logged in on my tablet and through my tablet I was able to delete my servers and my account. My account is scheduled for deletion in 2 weeks, so I will have to wait the two weeks before I create a new discord account. In the meantime I will have to do some research on what this DS.ME wants access to your account is. There's no YouTube video covering the subject. If any of you have run into that, leave me a message.
