Fox Valley Chess Team
Competing At Chicago Chess Foundation (CCF)
Monthly Free Tournaments
2025 - 2026 Season

First Event this season:
Marist High School
4200 W 115th St, Chicago
Saturday, November 22, 2025

Since the days of the Youth Chess Foundation of Chicago (YCFC), Fox Valley Chess Club has competed in monthly events held during the school year at Chicago schools. 

Please sign up ONE-TIME for master list for the year -- and Coach Bill will take care of registrations for each CCF event based on WhatsApp polls.  If you sign up directly with CCF, please let me know so I can remove you from the team -- and if you do go the direct route, please donate directly to the CCF's various funds.

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.

Questions?  email info@aurorachess.com or send a private message through WhatsApp

For CCF events, players must arrive AND check-in by 9:30am at the site in order to play the first round (of 5 games).  They've heard all the excuses -- this is a firm rule. All events are held on Saturdays in Chicago.
