http://www.worldchessnetwork.com

- WorldChessNetwork.com (WCN) is proud to announce their first ever
"Beginner Week".

If you thought that Ruy Lopez was a Spaniard famous for his soccer skills or
that Capablanca is a classic movie, then Beginner Week is for you!

WCN, already renown for its industry leading coverage of high profile
events, is taking great strides in a new direction, the care and feeding of
the beginning chess player.  WCN proudly introduces  "Beginner Week".
Events such as Banter Chess, a WorldChessNetwork.com invention, Lectures,
Master Challenges, and Roundtables will cater to the beginning and low rated
chess players of the world chess community.

Intermediate and expert players need not feel left out. Events geared to
these groups will still be run by some of the greatest players in the world,
including U.S. Champion GM Larry Christiansen and the young phenom Canadian
Champion IM Pascal Charbonneau.

If seeing your opponent play b4 causes you to yell, 'Bingo!" then visit WCN
the week of May 27th until June 2nd and take part in Beginner Week.  Join
the thousands of other players on WCN who are also starting out in this
grand game! You won't regret it!
