The main emphasis of the club is to focus on improvement, sportsmanship, and honor intrinsic to the game of chess.
Players of all experience levels are welcome from any school, public or private, in the tri-state area of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.
Chess beginners are encouraged to attend. See our links below to learn how to play.
We meet on Saturday afternoons usually from noon to 3:30 p.m. Please see the calendar below for dates and locations for club meetings.

tournament. They will be USCF-rated events with game times of 60 minutes per
player. USCF and ESCA membership required. No entry fee, no prizes. Scholastic
