Our journey at Tri-Bridges Chess Club continues to take us to exciting new places. While we still meet every Tuesday at 666 Exton Commons for friendly games, socializing, and skill-building, our players are constantly challenging themselves in new ways. In our July 2026 issue, edited by Azim Julkipli, you’ll celebrate the bravery and growth of Sudiksha Kottha, who faced off against incredible odds as the lowest-rated player in the PA Haring Qualifier. We also recap this exciting scholastic girls tournament where top talents like Chloe Wang and Aimee Yang showcased their skills. But we aren’t just celebrating tournament grit; we’re diving deep into the art of the game itself. This month features an annotated look at "The Battle of Hastings" and a deep dive into our "Chess Master in History" section featuring Emmanuel Lasker and his record-breaking 27-year championship reign. You’ll also find an in-depth review of the interactive book You vs. Bobby Fischer, brain-bending retrograde and word scramble puzzles, and full details on the upcoming Triple Crown Event with its three distinct legs and cash prizes. Plus, don’t miss the schedules for our Friday Night and Sunday Game Hour tournaments. Give it a read and see how much our community is learning and growing!
