New Meeting Times

The Vienna Public Library has changed their meeting room policy, so effective immediately, the club will meet there from 5 to 8 p.m. instead of the previous 6 to 9 p.m. The dates have not changed--they are still the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month.

Chess on YouTube

Sometimes at the club the subject of online videos comes up, so I thought it might be cool to post some links. If you have others you'd like to add to the list, email me or post it in the comments and I'll add them.

These are in no particular order.
