The Springfield Chess Club offers both semimonthly meetings for casual chess play, and USCF-rated tournaments for serious chess play. Meetings are free and open to the public. Come join us some night and play some chess!
Membership in the club costs $8 per year. All memberships are for a calendar year, and they are pro-rated for new members who join part way through the year. Benefits of membership include a quarterly newsletter and a discount on entering our tournaments, however, membership is not required to come to our meetings or to play in our tournaments.
The Springfield Chess Club organizes USCF-rated tournaments every few months. The usual format of the tournaments is 4 rounds with Swiss system pairings. Entry fee is $20. There is a $3 discount for advance entry, usually this means by the Wednesday before the tournament. There is also a $2 discount for members of the Springfield Chess Club.
USCF membership is required to play in any USCF rated tournaments. Dues vary, adult dues are currently $49 for one year. Illinois Chess Association membership is encouraged but not required.
Some special tournaments have completely different rules, costs, and schedules, so please be sure to read pre-tournament publicity before entering.
Occasionally, club members will organize a small, impromptu tournament, often quick-rated.
