We would like to congratulate the whole BSI chess community with the opening of 2018/2019 chess season and wish all a great, challenging, and competitive year full of adventures and fun! Our team keeps growing both intellectually and in number of dedicated players and supporters. Last Saturday, September 15, BSI Chess Team took a part in 18th Annual CIS Chess-in-the-Park Rapid Open at New York City’s Central Park. We value this tournament very highly because it is the first tournament after a long summer break where players meet for friendly chess games ahead of the competitive season. As always, we would like congratulate our players with outstanding performance:

• George Bugayev, trophy in Reserve U1299 section
• David Moiseev, trophy in Youth Unrated section
• Elisabeth Bugayev, trophy in Intermediate U1699 section
