Once a month the players from MCCL test their skills in online chess games for ChessKid Nights.
Where: Anywhere with an internet connection! Login to ChessKid.
When: The first Tuesday of every month, beginning June 2nd, at 6pm.
How: Login and click Play Fast. Click the ORANGE "New Game" button to play against a random opponent. The more kids from Madison are online at the same time, the more likely you are to play against someone local!
Do: Play random people on Fast Chess. If you click the "Friends" tab and only play against people you know, then you defeat the purpose of the city-wide ChessKid night. Instead of challenging your friends, play against a random opponent by selecting the ORANGE "New Game" button. It might be someone from another state or country, but it also might be someone from Madison, AL.
Don't: DO NOT start a Fast Chess game and abort as soon as you are paired. That is considered poor etiquette online. And, it will result in a forfeit of your game which will count as a loss and affect your Fast Chess rating.
Play a ChessKid Celebrity: When you choose "New Game" you may run into a ChessKid Celebrity like:
