September Mock Rated Event! Posted on August 17, 2026 by maynard1324 Hello again! Our August tournament went well, and I’ve got another date secured for an event in September. I also have some good leads on venues that will give us the option to do some rated events (soon, I hope!). The schedule w...

Thank you to everyone who showed up for the Saturday tournament! I unfortunately could not work out a good Saturday in July for various reasons, but I did reserve our room at the library for August 15th, which will be our next mock rated event. More information here:

Next Saturday Mock Rated Tournament in August Posted on June 29, 2026 by maynard1324 July looks like a very busy month for the library and myself. The first Saturday is closed for the holiday, and the second Saturday is the book sale in the basement, which would make our lives pretty hard. That bein...

Lots of talk tonight about the Lichess team and playing online in general, so I'm sharing it here in case anyone would like to join:

Online gathering space for the Cville Chess Club (Crawfordsville, IN).

Reminder that this is coming up for those interested!

We are back for Chess this evening at the library around 545pm as per usual. I hope nobody got too rusty over the last few weeks!

Reminder that the library is closed today, so no chess! Same thing for next Monday since it's a holiday. I was hoping to have a chess field trip to Milligan Park since the library is closed today, but it looks like it's going to rain. If the weather is clear enough this evening, an impromptu meet up may be held there if anyone would like to join us for some Gazebo chess. Otherwise, maybe we'll try again next week. I'll keep you apprised!

Mock rated tournament next month! June 27th at the Crawfordsville Library in Meeting Room D. Round 1 starts at 10:30am, so get there ASAP (the library opens at 10). We've had a couple of these now for the regular members of the club, but we're starting to see some good growth so I wanted to make a post in case anyone else has an interest in seeing what competitive Chess is all about. This is just a mock tournament, so no entry fee or sign up required. We will be following the same rules as a typical USCF rated event (with more leniency). I will go over the rules before the first round, so if you're interested, just show up the day of, and we will find someone for you to play! If at all possible, please bring a board set with pieces and a clock. We have quite a few, but bring em if you have em just to be safe.

We'll be doing 4 rounds of 25+5 time control with the following (approximate) round times:

Round 1: 10:30am
Round 2: 11:30am
LUNCH BREAK until 1:30pm
Round 3: 1:30pm
Round 4: 2:30pm

I expect the event to wrap up between 3:45 and 430pm. If for whatever reason you can play some rounds, but not all, feel free to let me know onsite that day or you can message me here. If anyone has any other questions you can reach out here or email me at [email protected]

Thanks!

No chess next Monday as the library is closed. Thanks to everyone who came tonight!

Looks like the library is closed next Monday for President's Day, so no Chess Club that night. See you in a couple weeks!

01/26/2026

The Library is closed today due to the weather, so no Chess tonight. If anyone feels like playing rated this week, there's the rapid night tomorrow in Indy, and there is a tournament in Bloomington this Saturday. See you next week hopefully!
