The Southwest Chess Club meets every
Thursday night from 6:00 PM in the town of Greendale,
Wisconsin. We meet
at the Layton State Bank (downstairs), at 5850 Broad Street.
Here is a map
to the club. Due to flooding problems, our Hales
Corners Village Hall location is not available until Sept.-Oct. 2008. We will meet at the Greendale Layton State
Bank until further notice. Our club sponsors two
weekend tournaments each year (October & April). The upcoming Hales Corners Challenge
VIII will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2008. For HCC-VIII, we are happy to announce that
Goddess Chess is sponsoring
additional prizes: Top Finishing Female Player--$50/Best
Game by Female Player--$25/Best Game
by Male Player--$25, in addition to our standard prizes. We hope to hold the tournament in our Hales
Corners Village Hall location (stay tuned for any location changes). We recently co-sponsored a FIDE-rated event
with Midwest Chess Adventures (MCA). The event was held March 8-9, 2008, in the
SWCC club meeting room. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have a Blog that shows current club news,
and you are invited to contribute information, games, and any items of
interest! Also, two of our club
members have created active blogs: Ivan Wijetunge has a popular blog with current news, games,
and interesting posts. Souvik Roychoudhuri has a blog that has games and news
from our club and the Waukesha club.
Check out the blogs! Join us to play rated tournament games, blitz, or
some skittles. There is always a game to be had! Think you are good? There
are some players here
that might teach you a thing or two! Not that good? We have players of all ratings and experience
levels who are always willing to help you improve your game. In the summer, we have a full schedule of
lectures right before the games begin.
Watch for announcements! The US Chess Federation provides
results of our completed events online.
The crosstables
contain complete pre- and post- ratings of all participants. Our club maintains a very large library of Chess Books, Chess Videos, and Chess DVDS (click on
each link for a full list). Club
