Reno Legends Memorial
August 21 - September 25
The Reno Legends Memorial is a six-round Swiss event at the time control Game in 90 minutes with a 30-second increment per move.
This tournament has had many names over the years: The David Ryba Memorial, The Terry Alsasua Memorial, among others; and most recently, The Boris Spassky Memorial to celebrate the life and career of the World Champion who visited our club and was an honorary member, and a friend to the godfather of chess in northern Nevada, Jerry Weikel.
The list of legends has grown long enough that newer players never had the pleasure of meeting many of these stalwart members of our club who have passed away, and we choose now to celebrate them as a constellation of stars by renaming this annual event the Reno Legends Memorial.
