Well, the site has been up for almost a year already ( September the 29th it will be a year). I haven’t done as much as I wanted to when it comes to modifications on the site or in posting articles, yet I feel that it has been a useful tool to get information out [...]

[ August 22, 2009; 2:00 pm; ] On August 22nd, the Joplin Chess Club hosted the second annual Summer Open. Turnout for the event was very good, with many of our regulars, some returning players from past events and a few new players. The playing field was pretty strong and many good games were played.
As in past events, there were two sections, [...]

[ March 13, 2009 11:00 pm to March 15, 2009 11:00 pm. ] After the Mid-America open finished up a couple of weeks ago I took a look at some of the local players that took part in the event. Then today I was doing a search and ran across the results in an online USCF article. I thought I would share the results.
I want to take a [...]

[ March 28, 2009; 5:00 pm; ] On March 28th, the Joplin Chess Club hosted the Joplin Spring Open. While turnout was a little lower than in the past, at 11 players, that didn’t diminish the competition at all. There were many fiercely fought games and I’m hoping we will get some of the games annotated to post on the site.
There were [...]

I had been working on a software package to allow players to play games on the site but I haven’t had much chance to modify it fully to my liking. So until I get that finished, I thought I would ask if anyone would be interested in e-mail chess? Or even via mail if that [...]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m still working on the tournament. I have finalized on March 28th as a date that I think will provide a good time to the most people, is far enough out to give ample preparation and conflicts the least with other regional events.
That said, I don’t yet [...]
