Fox Valley Chess Team
Competing At Chicago Chess Foundation (CCF)
Monthly Free Tournaments
2023 - 2024 Season

 

Since the days of the Youth Chess Foundation of Chicago (YCFC), Fox Valley Chess Club has competed in six or seven monthly events held November through May (June if you include the all-girls).  

This year CCF has returned to the YCFC tradition requiring a master team list -- followed by a per-event head count (stay tuned here for those postings).  This should make it a lot easier on everyone.

This master roster will allow us to track which schools might be in competition for team awards since Fox Valley is not eligible (since it is essentially an all-star team!).  The headcounts will allow CCF to assure ample space for competitors and also allows us to plan team rooms accordingly.

Please provide your school name in the registration -- although it is hoped (but not promised) that CCF will avoid pairing Fox Valley kids head-to-head in the earlier rounds.

It is Coach Bill's hope to support another strong season at CCF.
