Chess Club of Solivita

We are the Chess Club of Solivita. We meet every Wednesday from 9am to 12pm in the Baltic Room. Players of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join us, including beginners. We look forward to seeing you there!

On Thursday, Septermber 6th, several members of the club took a ride to meet and play with our counterparts at The Villages. We met some great people and had a lot of fun. The match was very competitive, and the star of the competition was our President, Jim Timko, who won both his games! ended by inviting The Villages Club to visit us in the near future.

    

We've been pretty busy this year already. On March 3rd, 6 members particpated in the Polk County Senior Games in Lakeland, and four came away with medals! Silver medals were won by Walter Sznerch and Joe Byrnes, and Hans Mumm and Jim Timko won Bronze medals. A great performance by Team Solivita!

We also recently completed the 1st Annual Solivita Chess Champioship. Co-Champions are Walter Sznerch and Joe Byrnes, and 3rd place was captured by Bob Wiley. Congrats to all.
