Important Notice:
Great News! The Church has confirmed that we can have Friday chess sessions.Our plan is to begin on Friday, May 26th. Starting 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
For the first few weeks, we will have casual games and get to know each other.
We need to establish a group of dedicated volunteers that can help the Friday sessions run smoothly and put together the wishes of the Friday group. This includes deciding time control of tournament, rated or unrated, chess lessons, etc.
We will gather feedback so we can share the announcement and the programs.
If you already a member of our club and prefer to come on Fridays, you can switch. We will start collecting membership fees for newcomers in July. We welcome all ages and all levels of chess skills.
The following change will take effect on May 1st, 2023, or when your MCC membership has expired:
1) Monday members in the Gold Section will move to Wednesday
2) If your child is currently in the Gold Section but has other activities and cannot come on Wednesday, he or she will be put in the Blue Section until your MCC membership expires.
If you wish to attend on both Monday and Wednesday, membership fees are 50% more
We have reached our maximum capacity, and no longer accept new members on Monday. If you are interested in joining, contact us and we will place you on a waiting list.
Starting Monday March 6th, all the sections play one game per night. If you arrive after 7pm you can only play casual games. We will start lessons for beginners starting 8pm or as soon as white section is finished.
