We are announcing the Winter Rapid Open on Saturday, February 17th, 2024 at Des Moines Gospel Chapel!
This is our first weekend tournament with an entry fee and prize pool – we’re excited to announce it early! Registration will be available early in the new year, but for loyal blog readers, we wanted to get it out to all players.
Block it off on the calendar and we’ll see you there.
Be sure to hit up the Veteran’s Day Open on November 11th if you’re over 18 years of age! Register at NWChess and get more information below:

We’ve updated the Events Page for November at the Des Moines Gospel Chapel!
Classical this week and blitz the following week. We’re retiring Dual-Rated Games due to lack of interest and we’re taking suggestions on what to replace it with. Shoot us an email – we’re thinking about going with another unrated week, possibly blitz, possibly rapid.
No event on Thanksgiving!

I’ll see you at the Challenger’s Cup, Veterans’ Day Open, and the Washington State Class Championship!
We had 14 people turn out for unrated blitz last week! Here are the standings – congrats to Kirk Steinocher for getting a perfect 5.0/5.0!
Hope to see you this coming week for our most popular event, Rapid Quads! Remember, events have been pushed back to 6:45 PM to accommodate the traffic and weather.
