Team Battles & Live Blitz Tournaments!
Battle for Murfreesboro Chess Club's Online Team
NM Alex King (OjaiJoao) from the Memphis Chess Club has personally invited us to participate in Live Team Battles on lichess.org. Different teams are likely to play on various occasions, including Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Louisville, and St. Louis. The battles are held on Monday's from 7:00 – 8:30 PM CST. To help level the playing field Alex suggested taking the top 5 scores from each team. It's really all about having collective fun, especially during these times of isolation.
Our team space is listed here: https://lichess.org/team/murfreesboro-chess-club for you to join, and to receive further information when it becomes available in our forum. Our club space says, “For patrons and friends of the Murfreesboro Chess Club.” If the circumstance arises that you belong to multiple clubs, you could simply choose your allegiance the day of.
Please join the online club, even if you cannot participate every time.
