 Sign up for chess!


As the new school year starts, so does the scholastic chess season!  Sign up is now available for any student in the Muskego Norway School District - please visit Muskegochess.com to sign up and for more information. 

The fee is $60 per player ($65 by PayPal) and includes professional instruction (International Academy of Chess) each week, along with use of the club's chess sets during class.   The season starts Oct 6th and runs to late March '22.  We'll meet each Wednesday (weather permitting) from 6:30-8 at Mill Valley Elementary School in the cafeteria (Hillendale Drive entrance).  

All are welcome - beginners to experienced!  Parents of K-4 students are requested to stay and help with their child, unless discussed ahead of time.

Please note, we'll follow the MNSD guidelines as it relates to Covid, which for now strongly encourages the use of masks.

 New chess season right around the corner! 

We hope you all had an enjoyable summer and were able to relax with family and friends.  With school starting soon, the scholastic chess season will be upon us as well.  As you may know, the MSCC did what we could virtually last year, but that didn't fit well for everyone.  

We're excited to be back in person the new school year!  Unless anything changes (which is always possible, so watch for updates), we're expecting to start up at Mill Valley Elementary again, on Wednesday October 6th (6:30-8 as in the past).  We will once again be coached by the International Academy of Chess!

Sign up on our website any time, and we'll send updates at it gets closer to October.  Feel free to reach out to Leah (leahmike@ymail.com) or Dan (dschantz3@gmail.com).

Thank you to our MSCC players & parents for another good chess year, especially under the circumstances that you all faced.  We all made the best of the situation and still managed to learn & play virtually and have some fun!

This fall, we hope to return to Mill Valley in person as in recent years, so watch for updates when the new school year begins.

In the meantime, have a great summer!

 WI High School Rapid Online Chess Championship

 IAC (International Academy of Chess) with the endorsement of the Wisconsin Chess Association

Normally this time of year we would have had our last big tournament on the campus of UW Oshkosh.  Thanks to covid it was cancelled last year and held virtually (zoom +lichess.org) this year.

Only the high school team event (no K5 or K8 individual) was held, but it was also opened up to middle schools, so we brought our LDMS team!

  • As a 5 player team competing against mostly high schools, LDMS finished 11th out of 18 teams, which i think is very good!
  • Andy finished 3rd place on our board #1, taking 8 out of 10 points 
  • Luke finished 6th place on our board #2, just barely missing a trophy, taking 6.5 out of 10 points
  • Daniel also finished 6th place on our board #3, also just barely missing a trophy, taking 7 out of 10 points 
  • Reid on board #4 and Travis on board #5 also played multiple good games against experienced players.
I really want to emphasize how proud I am of this team for stepping up to play against mostly high school teams, thus encountering matches that are more difficult than normal.  Everyone learned a lot from this tournament and came out stronger!

We're looking forward to hopefully being back in-person this fall, and competing again next year on campus!

Coach Dan
