One of our local clubs, The Paris Chess Club, will have an online meeting and tournament tonight! We will meet online tonight at 6:00! Join us on zoom at us02web.zoom.us/j/6438341510... and on Lichess at lichess.org/team/paris-chess-club

Monday, January 26, at 6:30 pm, we are hosting an online group study of the games of Grandmaster Judit Polgar. We will gear up for the upcoming Netflix documentary about Judit Polgar by going over some of her excellent tactical games. We hope to see you there!

I played in an lichess tournament today and it was live streamed. This link starts at my game https://youtu.be/kBMf84Y_PRM?t=7131 I'm AllenM99 playing black

I want to pause for a second and make sure this group is becoming something people actually want to be part of. Right now, this is intentionally small, and that’s a good thing. It means we can shape it together. I’d really appreciate hearing from you: • What kinds of posts are most useful to you? • Would you prefer more discussion, shared game reviews, or something else? • Would you be interested in something like an occasional group game review or live call or not at all? No pressure to answer everything. Even one thought helps. I want this to be a place that actually helps people climb, not just another feed.

I know I certainly do. Playing OTB feels like a different game, and it’s a great way to engage with the community and make new chess friends. Have you ever played in a tournament? Do you plan to this year?
