TUESDAY NIGHT ACTION
*** Please note new format changes effective for TNA beginning February 28, 2023 ***
WEEKLY RATED PLAY
The CCC conducts a weekly US Chess rated game every Tuesday night. This is a great way for players to get weekly practice without committing a whole weekend to play a tournament. The Top Section also FIDE-rated - offering the only free weekly FIDE-rated game in the country! In addition, there is a free lecture before the games begin.
