Hope to see you there – get your preparation in by playing on Thursday nights at the club! Classical coming up this week…
We recently simplified our events schedule!
We play every Thursday at Des Moines Gospel Chapel in Des Moines, WA. Start time is 7:00 PM, registration opens at 6:30 PM. Please arrive by 6:50 PM for pairings.
All entries free unless otherwise noted.
All events are USCF Rated, so you need a valid and current USCF membership. It is not always possible to process membership at the South Sound Chess Club, so please ensure you have this taken care of before showing up!
The Events Page has been updated with the Thursday games, and our Summer Rapid Kickoff is this weekend. Don’t miss it!
