CHESS CLUBS MEET VIA CHESSKID

Every elementary student in Madison City Schools has a gold ChessKid.com account provided by the school system. This enables all elementary students to enjoy a chess extracurricular activity during the closure of school buildings. Elementary chess clubs or teams are meeting online to play chess and improve their chess skills by solving puzzles, completing lessons, or watching chess videos, and you can join them too online whether you were orignally a member of a school chess club/team or not. Elementary students can log in through Clever to gain access to your ChessKid account.

ChessKid Tournaments

ChessKid Tournaments

ChessKid sets up tournaments you can join each day. Join the ChessKid Official Club so you can see all the tournaments available to play in. Then, when you log on, look to the left for the "Upcoming Tournaments" icon and see what tournaments you can join. Your own clubs may also set up tournaments for you to play with your friends who are members of that club. Here is an article telling you how to join tournaments on ChessKid. ChessKid TipUse a computer Browser to access Live Chess, not a mobile device of any kind.


To join tournaments, go to Play vs. Kid and click on the tournament you want to join at least 5 minutes before start time (you cannot join a tournament after it has started). The tournaments have various time controls and numbers of rounds, so be sure you can commit to playing for the duration before you join. When your round is over, you can watch other games still in progress. The next round will be paired when everyone has finished playing the current round, so stay online. Good luck!
