Guam Echecs will hold another major chess tournament by skill levels 1-5 at the Agana Shopping Center on Nov. 26 and 27 and Dec. 4 and 11 to determine the Guam Chess Champion and top ten players from Guam.

Those interested in competing should register early at the McDonalds in Harmon every Sunday afternoon. For more information, call Leon Ryan at 788-1631.
