<p>The 2014 PAWNMASTER MEMORIAL CHESS TOURNAMENT WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2014! PLEASE LET OTHER CHESS PLAYERS AND PARENTS ASAP!<br />
<P>While returning my son back to military college, we were notified that his aunt had suddenly died from internal bleeding. This is the third year during the month of August that we have lost a family member. Her funeral services will be out of town and details are few at this time but the family is searching for a minister and church for her services later on this week or the weekend.<br />
<p>Traveling back to Buffalo this afternoon, but I have to postpone the tournament until September 2014. I apologize for any problems that this might have on others.<br />
<p>Those 6 advance registrations will be applied to the September tournament.<br />
<p>If you have any questions or concerns, please reply to Knightsof64@yahoo.com.<br />

Happy Easter and Passover to chess friends in the area.
<p>
The joint commission of FIDE and the Association of Chess Professionals, of which I am a member, are holding a final round of meetings in Davis Hall on the UB North Campus through Wednesday. This will include a public demonstration of my statistical anti-cheating system at 10am on Monday in 338 Davis Hall. Five people from Israel, Italy, Russia, France, and Germany are visiting.
<p>
I've been ferociously busy with other things even besides the prominent blog in my field which I co-manage---this recent <a href="http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/multiple-credit-tests/">post</a> featuring Bruce Pandolfini may be of interest. I am sorry this has prevented me from attending area events since last summer, but I have June 7-8 noted on my calendar.
