We no longer have club dues. Please come with a strong ego and a willingness to learn. Most of the club players are of average tournament strength, so many new players are disappointed when they lose many of their first games at the club. Chess books are available in the the local libraries. Chess equiment and computers, plus anything you might want are available from the U.S. Chess Federation.
