Some people seem to have an aversion to Tartu College. I’m not suggestion anyone at the Chess Club is of this mind, but I do see a divide in the Estonian community and it may be along socio-economic lines (the doctors, lawyers, academics seem to prefer Tartu College, the “common people” seem to prefer Estonian House).
I’m not entirely certain why this extends to the community buildings, but I think it has to do with comfort level. I thought about this after the Madison Project was announced at the Estonian House. A prominent person in the community made the comment in a private conversation that “I guess we now start building a community centre at Jõekääru”. That was a telling comment for me. The person who said this had no malice in the statement. I also don’t remember the person ever visiting Tartu College for events. By extension, I can think of many, many people who do not attend Tartu College events, you could say a large segment of the community. This needs further scrutiny by Madison planners if they are to be successful with the future community.

Hei hr. JJ
Why haven't you replied as to WHICH article with YOUR quotes is the correct version as to why you've chosen the Baptist Church over EestiMaja?
Just thought If your club is as strapped for funds could you not have used your korp! Estica rooms at Tartu College at a significant savings?

Jaak,
Your reply back on December 15, 2017 was NOT as detailed as your response here.
There are discrepancies in your responses (aka "the details"). For the purpose of clarity and transparency, could you please explain the differences and which response is the official one?

"The chess tournament was held in the basement of the Estonian Baptist Church for the same reason the Estonian Credit Union purchased the monk's house on Madison Avenue beside Tartu College.We're planning for the future! When we weighed the options between both the Madison project and the Estonian House, we decided that the safest and most accessible location for future tournaments would be a house of God, namely the Estonian Baptist Church on Broadview. As chessplayers, during a chess game, options are always changing with every move. It is the stronger player who will always make the best moves on board and eventually win the game. Chess is very similar to life in the sense that, good moves result in winning, where bad moves result in loss and defeat."
