Chess Bingō
Chess Bingō is a new way to enjoy chess, learn the lingo, and (when played with teams) helps develop team-building skills.
I developed this version of Chess Bingō to aid my students, and we’ve tested and used it with great success at the McMinnville Chess Club.
McMinnville Chess Club and the McMinnville Chess Library
Players of all ages and skill levels are invited to the McMinnville Chess Club, which offers free, open play events, rated and unrated tournaments, resources and opportunities for chess study and lessons, and the nicest chess club members you’ll ever meet in town.
The McMinnville Chess Club also features the McMinnville Chess Library, a growing collection of curated books, magazines, and equipment for club members and guests to use in their study and enjoyment of the game we love.
ChessKid
ChessKid offers a full curriculum, puzzles, and more from the makers of Chess.com. This is the platform that I use to track the progress of my students, and it’s fun to use for youth and non-teachers, as well.
US Chess
Registering with the United States Chess Federation (USCF) includes the monthly Chess Life and Chess Life Kids magazines, allows you to play in rated tournaments and climb the chess ladder with an official, nationally recognized chess rating — and it’s also one of the ways to get a free square in Chess Bingō!
