The Toronto Observer Writes Up Annex Chess Club

Confession: I've never heard of The Toronto Observer.
But a recent article mentions  the Annex Chess Club and that I know: the club is four years old, but former Palmerston parents will remember that one of its founders hosted a chess club for years after-hours at Palmerston P.S.
I also didn't know that downtown TO had been lacking a major chess club for decades. Glad to see that's been remedied.
Cheers,
