Join Chess.com!

We will not be able to provide enough instruction during our 1.5 hour per week class.  Therefore, we ask that every member of the club pursue chess OUTSIDE OF CLASS.  To improve, this is absolutely essential. Here are some ideas:
  • Chess.com web site - unlimited free chess play, some instruction.  Premium membership has unlimited instructional videos, tactics, much more.
  • Thursday night chess - advanced and intermediate - Southwest Chess Club has some great tournament and free play every week at the Hales Corners police station building - tournaments usually cost $10-$15 and are USCF rated.  Here is the link to their club website - and to their blog.
  • ChessMaster XI - a great instructional program for the PC.  Many of our older players learned on ChessMaster.  Here is a link to more information about the program- shop around on price.
  • YouTube has a large number of instructional chess videos.  Learning chess, great master games, concepts, openings, traps and many more.
