  • DCC August 2021 Report

    I hope they have found their DCC experience to be exciting as well as beneficial. 

    We were all anticipating the return of DCC Tuesday night tournament games. Not knowing if the registration would be high or low after 19 months of being closed due to the nationwide pandemic, and with the DCC requiring a full COVID vaccination.

  • DCC Almost Normal Tournament Report

    ... and the whole room broke out in applause.

    What a great follow up we had to the DCC "Nearly Normal"  tournament. Our "Almost Normal" tournament attracted over 70 players. Just an excellent turnout for a one day event. In both of these tournaments nearly half of the players were Unrated. Clear evidence that DCC tournaments are attracting new players to USCF rated tournament chess. Apparently, due to a large...

  • DCC January/February 2021 Report

    ... but I am holding out hope that we can have the DCC Fall Classic.

    It's been nearly a full year since the Denver Chess Club has met in person for over the board chess. I remember how we were all thinking we would be able to play the last 3 rounds of the 2020 March tournament in April or surely in May. And be back to our regular monthly tournament in June. Everybody knows that didn't happen. The 2020 Denver Open - that was destined to surpass the... Read more >>
