Livingston County Chess Blog: Sunday Puzzle

LCCC On-Line!

Join us on Chess.com for Daily (think postal) Chess

Chess.com - we play other clubs in matches! Usually 2 games - one with each color, against the same opponent. And you have 3 days to make your move. Its sort of a version of postal chess - only on line!

All you have to do is make an account on Chess com for FREE! Be sure to pick a fun screen name, and send an email to lcchess64@gmail.com to let us know. I would suggest that Chess .com is well worth a membership, but it is not necessary to join the LCCC on the site.

Once you have joined, click on the “Share” tab on the site and then the “Groups and Teams” link. Type in “Livingston County Chess Club” and of course the country is the United States and hit enter. Post a note stating you wish to join, and you will be added.

Once you are a member, when we have a match challenge, you will get a message on the Chess.com site and to your email.
