At this time of year, most chess clubs would have had their AGMs and be looking forward to a new season of over the board chess, in leagues, tournaments and internal club competitions. Sadly, due to the world wide pandemic that has savaged every walk of our lives, face to face chess battles have been put on long term hold. However, unlike many other sports, thanks to the great advances in internet technologies over the past few years, we have a good alternative at our disposal.

 

Internet chess has expanded to fill the void left by the absence of over the board chess, and our Chess Club has embraced the opportunities on offer with open arms.

 

Milton Keynes Online Chess Club is hosted by the Lichess internet chess platform. Lichess is one of the best and most advanced platforms around. The project is Open Source, does not carry any advertising and is free to use.

 

Your are more than welcome to join our club in cyberspace as a guest member.

 

As a guest member of Milton Keynes Online Chess Club you will be able to compete in the events we put on, such as Blitz, Rapid Play and Long Play Swiss tournaments.

 

Colin Solloway.
