All of the chess events for August 2023 are on the Events Page – give them a look!
Reminder: Registration opens the weekend before the Thursday event is scheduled. This is so people have ample time to sign up but don’t sign up a month out and fail to show up.
See you at the club! Remember, casual Saturdays are still going on at Marina Mercantile.

South Sound Chess provides official two-copy US Chess Federation scoresheets for our players at no charge.
These scoresheets allow you to write in pen on the top page and have a copy made on the backing sheet, which is typically yellow. After the game, both players sign the other’s sheet, circle the result, and both players submit their yellow sheet to the Tournament Director while keeping the top white scoresheet for themselves.
So… what’s notation all about?
