Club Meeting Cancelled

Due to inclement weather, the library is closing early, so our regular club meeting will be cancelled tonight.

Meeting Tomorrow

This is just a reminder that our next club meeting will be tomorrow, January 26th at the Vienna Public Library from 6-9 PM. I hope to see you there!

Endgame Puzzle

Today's puzzle comes from the folks at ChessVideos.tv. It's White to move and win. How should White proceed? You can play out the endgame using this simulator.

MOVCC Now on Facebook

The Mid-Ohio Valley Chess Club is now on Facebook! I've created a new Facebook page for the club, replacing the old group that had not been used in some time. Posts from our blog will appear on this page, offering an alternative way to receive information about the club, as well as (hopefully) increasing our exposure.

Please become a fan us today!
