Membership & Donations: For membership dues and donations via PayPal see our Membership and Donations Page.
Hygiene Policy for In-Person Events  – We strongly recommend that anyone coming to the club be fully vaccinated against covid. We recommend that you wear a mask at the club, because of the close contact over the chessboard over many hours. Please don’t come to the club if you are sick!
Late Sign-up and Registration: You can sign up or cancel a signup for a weekend tournament up to midnight the night before the event by emailing [email protected]. After midnight of the night before (e.g., for late signups or withdrawals, late bye requests or alerts about late arrivals, etc.) please send to the tournament director at [email protected] as well. Email requests close 30 minutes before scheduled start of the tournament. This gives the TD space to process arriving players, construct the pairing matrix, etc. For most tournaments there is a walk-in registration period (starting 1 hour before first round) when there are seats available.Â
Casual night signups: You don’t have to sign up for our free casual nights every Wednesday. Just come to the club anytime 7-11pm and play with whoever is there. We may ask you to sign IN; look for a sign-in sheet at the club. First time attendees are asked to sign up by emailing [email protected]
