All members will be expected to follow the MCCL Code of Conduct.
The Madison City Chess League (MCCL) opened its doors in 2013, inviting kids from Madison and the surrounding area to play chess for free. Since that time, MCCL has watched the interest in chess grow in our community.
Membership is NOT required in order to attend Monday night meetings Monday night meetings held at Madison Library from 6-7:30 p.m. Membership is required to participate in online tournaments hosted by MCCL on ChessKid.com or Chess.com.
