As we welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our chess goals and set new resolutions. Whether you’re aiming to improve your rating, learn new openings, or simply play more games, the Third Coast Chess Club is here to support your journey.
We’re thrilled to continue hosting our Monday meetings at the Aransas County Library, and we hope to see both familiar and new faces this year. To make communication easier and keep everyone updated, we’re excited to announce our new Telegram group!
Joining the Telegram group (https://t.me/+W7opRq1mcSo1MGM5) means you’ll receive instant updates about club meetings, tournaments, and other events—all without the hassle of 40+ individual reminders that Ian sends out manually each Monday. Well, that was essentially his hassle. But no longer!. This will save time and ensure you never miss an opportunity to play and improve. What this means is that reminders/messages/notifications will be sent via the Telegram app going forward.
How to Join:
Click Here. Or click one of the above two links. It’s quick, easy, and a great way to stay connected with our chess community. You may also navigate from the top menu bar of this site if merely clicking that link is not challenging enough. The link is sandwiched between a “NEW” and Loudspeaker icons in the Contact Us! dropdown:
Ah, and then once you do that, you will need to be approved/vetted. So, make it easy on me and let me know who you are. MrMystery9000 won’t ring a bell. Seems that the club is super popular all over the world, AI bots not withstanding. If you aren’t recognized, your request will be filed in the oubliette.
Let’s make this year one for growth, strategy, and camaraderie. See you over the board! —and in the Telegram group!
