Tournaments are FUN!

Many tournaments will happen throughout the season.  Chess tournaments are recommended for kids who have earned their BLUE wrist band or beyond.  In my experience, once a kid goes to a tournament, they really understand chess in a new way.  Often times this is the turning point where a kid really gets serious about this amazing game.
Some tournaments are not rated by the USCF (uschess.org), and some are.  There is a USCF rated tournament coming up on Oct 17 - the Hales Corners Challenge.  This is sponsored by the Southwest Cless Club, a group which meets Thursdays at the Hales Corners police station.  CLICK HERE for details.
Our first "official" club tournament will be the USM tournament at University School on November 21st.  After that, we're having our own tournament at Bay Lane Middle School on Dec 12th!  Watch this site for details.  There may also be tournaments added this year, but those are the big ones!

August Jammin & Open play this month

Hi All,
 Thank you to whoever helped make last night possible. It was a great turnout & a lot of fun!


 Just a reminder, we still have open play (free) going on this month at the library on Wednesdays (6:30 pm - 8 pm). Only 3 sessions left!

Kyle hits 1660!!

Congratulations to 8th grader Kyle Jain!!   Kyle played in a tournament in AZ and did extremely well, raising his rating from 1564-1660.
Kyle is the 3rd highest rated player in the Muskego Chess program, behind Evan Seghers (Senior) and Jason Markowski (Senior).
When Evan, Jason, Reid, Rachel, Kolt and others retire, we will have a big gap to fill in Fall of 2016 with our new crop of players coming in - it's great to see players like Kyle, Alyssa and others who are playing Summer tournaments and raising their ratings!
Way to go, Kyle!
